Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of temporary cardiopulmonary support used in critically ill pediatric patients when conventional therapies fail, yet survival to discharge remains only ~50% nationwide. Prior studies have identified candidate mortality predictors and developed basic risk scores, but these models have limited accuracy and are often derived from registry-level or narrowly defined …

Abstract
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) is a rare, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated systemic angiodestructive lymphoproliferative disorder that may progress to a diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Pulmonary involvement may mimic other more common lung pathologies including pneumonias. Therapeutic standards have not been established for LG, but rituximab, interferon-α2b (INF-α2b), and chemotherapy have shown to improve symptoms and long term prognosis.
We report a case of rapid respiratory deterioration in a 66-year-old man with clinical presentation, chest radiography, pulmonary function testing and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings consistent with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, but very poor response to antibiotics and low dose steroids. …
