Successful treatment of varicella pneumonia with prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a child with leukemia

RE Hicks, TR Kinney, RC Raphaely, MH Donaldson, LH Edmunds Jr and JL Naiman

A 5-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in complete continuous remission developed life-threatening varicella pneumonia and acute respiratory insufficiency (ARI). The child recovered after 92 hours of partial venoarterial perfusion with a membrane oxygenator. Functional asplenia developed. Serial pulmonary function tests after perfusion indicate moderately severe restrictive lung disease which has slightly improved during an 18 month period.
