Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe form of pneumonia that is mainly treated with conservative treatment, including antibiotics. We report a unique case of necrotizing pneumonia due to group A streptococcus infection in an 18-month-old boy who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Following surgical lobectomy, the child was weaned off ECMO and recovered uneventfully.
坏死性肺炎是肺炎的一种严重形式,主要采用包括抗生素在内的保守治疗。我们报告了一例独特的由A组链球菌感染引起的坏死性肺炎病例,患儿为一名18个月大的男孩,需要体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)支持。在进行手术肺叶切除术后,患儿脱离了ECMO并顺利康复。
