We report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after influenza A infection who was successfully treated with combined treatment including direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized fiber (PMX-DHP) column. A 56-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital in January 2010 because of progressive dyspnea, hypoxemia, fever and bilateral diffuse infiltration on chest radiograph after pandemic influenza A infection. His chest computed tomography showed diffuse and patchy bilateral ground-glass opacities, and we diagnosed ARDS after influenza A infection. The patient was successfully treated with PMX-DHP in addition to the treatment with oseltamivir, corticosteroid, sivelestat and antibiotics with mechanical ventilation, and the patient recovered with only minor pulmonary fibrotic change. Although the efficacy of PMX-DHP treatment in patients with acute lung injury (ALI)/ARDS after influenza virus infection is not well established, this treatment could be a possible therapeutic modality in treating the patients with this disease.
我们报告一例甲型流感感染后发生急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)的病例,该患者接受了包括使用多粘菌素B固定纤维柱直接血液灌流(PMX-DHP)在内的联合治疗并成功治愈。一名56岁的日本男性于2010年1月因甲型流感大流行感染后出现进行性呼吸困难、低氧血症、发热以及胸部X线片显示双侧弥漫性浸润而入住我院。他的胸部计算机断层扫描显示双侧弥漫性斑片状磨玻璃影,我们诊断为甲型流感感染后ARDS。该患者除接受奥司他韦、皮质类固醇、西维来司他和抗生素治疗以及机械通气外,还成功接受了PMX-DHP治疗,患者康复后仅遗留轻微的肺纤维化改变。尽管PMX-DHP治疗对流感病毒感染后急性肺损伤(ALI)/ARDS患者的疗效尚未明确,但这种治疗可能是治疗该疾病患者的一种可行治疗方式。
