Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Haemoperfusion for Leptospirosis Pulmonary Hemorrhagic Disease: Report of 1 Case
, enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy alongside multidisciplinary support. The patient gradually improved, was successfully weaned from ECMO and ventilator support, and was discharged without residual organ dysfunction. This case demonstrates that early application of anticoagulation-free VV-ECMO combined with mNGS-based rapid diagnosis and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes in SPFL, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis in febrile patients with DAH and environmental exposure.
