Tuberculous pneumonia-induced severe ARDS complicated with DIC in a female child: a case of successful treatment.
Tuberculous (TB) pneumonia can induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although TB pneumonia is one of the causes of disease and death among children worldwide, the literature on TB pneumonia-induced ARDS is limited. We report herein on the successful treatment of a two-year-old female child with TB pneumonia-induced severe ARDS complicated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). ⋯ We successfully treated a female child suffering from TB pneumonia-induced severe ARDS complicated with DIC using multimodal interventions.
