Abstract
Leptospirosis is an infectious condition with a wide clinical spectrum that can present with mild symptoms to severe life threatening situations. Amongst this spectrum, Acute Pulmonary Distress and Haemorrhage can manifest, which poses a challenging dilemma in the management of these patients. Inadequate ventilatory strategies can lead to high mortality within this group of patients. Early detection, prompt treatment, with good interdepartmental communication and good team work are essential. We present a case of a 28-year-old young male who presented in the acute setting with respiratory distress, and pulmonary haemorrhage which was successfully treated with venovenous extra corporeal membrane oxygenation.
