Abstract
The H1N1-flu affected primary young and female patients without major comorbidities (1-3). Although most of the confirmed cases have been self-limited and uncomplicated febrile respiratory illness, there have been severe infection with complications or mortality as well. In some cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was commenced for the treatment of refractory hypoxemia, hypercapnia, or both, which occurred despite mechanical ventilation and rescue conventional therapies (4).
