    "Breaking" pandemic in children with rapidly progressive respiratory failure (H1N1) 2009 cases of severe pneumonia

    Introduction: pandemic (H1N1) 2009 epidemic is happening on a global scale, other countries have been reported in severe cases in children 1). And the epidemic is expanding rapidly across the country in our country, and hear reports of severe cases occur in children. 歳 This time, with no history of notable four-year-old influenza A (H1N1) pdm We report a patient who experienced a severe pneumonia virus infection.

    Case: 4-year-old boy.

    born by normal delivery.
    Growth and development history: it is not specifically pointed out the anomaly.
    History: None Notices.
    Family history: Mother: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ? dermatomyositis.

    History of present illness: August 23, 2009 (hospital 2 days ago) emerged from wet cough, 24 (day hospitalization) is lively bad, and bad oral intake, 38.5 ℃ night fever has been seen before. SpO Before August 25 doctor visits a day, room air with SpO 2 83% admitted with hypoxemia, chest X confessed to the right lower lung field infiltrate the rays, and visits to the Academy about the same per diem. Consultation at our hospital (after 18 hours after the fever), respiratory rate 60 times / min, SpO 2 92% (Rizabamasuku 6L / min) allowed a disorder marked tachypnea and oxygen, on suspicion of acute bacterial pneumonia hospitalized.

    Physical findings on admission: lucidity, poor general condition. Temperature: 38.8 ℃, blood pressure 94/50 mmHg, heart rate 154 / min, breathing 60 times / min, SpO 2 92% (O 2 mask 6L / min). Chest: found a marked respiratory depression, diminished breath sounds at the bottom of the right lung, right lung field during a hearing rhonchi. crackle hearing did not crackle.

    Laboratory findings on admission: Rapid flu tests A, B negative for both. RS virus, adenovirus-negative rapid test, rapid test negative for IgM anti-mycoplasma. WBC count 14,100 / μl, CRP 3.28 mg / dl and slightly increased inflammatory findings, LDH 270 IU / l, AST 21 IU / l, ALT 8 IU / l and liver enzyme elevation was not deviated. 。 Venous blood gas is, pH 7.419, pCO 2 32.4 mmHg, HCO 3 - 20.6 mmol / l. Photo Chest CT in the lower lobe of the right lung middle lobe and spread infiltrate with air bronchogram, and pleural effusions seen right on the picture was a picture of pneumonia (Figure 1).

    Elapsed after hospitalization: hospitalization with a diagnosis of severe pneumonia, was suspected from the image findings of bacterial pneumonia, inflammatory findings were slightly increased. 慮 Consider the possibility of mycoplasma pneumonia, ampicillin and minocycline treatment is started, the respiratory condition rapidly deteriorated during the evening. Conditions deteriorated even more right to detain the drain for drainage of pleural effusion, the day of admission 18:00 (about 24 hours after fever) began to intubation ventilator management. In addition, rapid influenza tests are positive for influenza type A再検simultaneously, the day turned out to be PCR positive tests AH1pdm virus. After ICU admission, on a ventilator management, oseltamivir, Panipenemu, γ-? ? ? ? ? ? administration began. Fever continued, but the respiratory condition gradually improved, August 28 (fever of five days of intubation 4 days) in the extubation. し、 From August 29 to defervescence, recurrence after heat rather than worsening respiratory status, September 2 and was discharged the day. 血 As a result, pleural fluid sputum culture-negative blood samples were collected during hospitalization, all were detected only small amount of mucoid Staphylococcus yellow throat.

    Conclusion: Influenza A (H1N1) pdm virus infection, and the easy-to-severe underlying disease and pregnant women, and if you have respiratory disease, severe cases are often reported due to respiratory failure.

    。 A feature of this case, the following three points are listed.

    。 Stir rapidly, after the onset of severe pneumonia in a previously healthy child has no particular underlying disease.
    On the image, the image of bacterial pneumonia was actually slightly increased evidence of inflammation, and culture-negative, one was diagnosed with pneumonia following influenza virus in the end.
    。 Fever, respiratory failure improved more rapidly than day 3, the length of hospital stay was 8 as severe breathing problems and was discharged in the early days.

    Animals from infected tissue, influenza A (H1N1) pdm virus has been reported to be transmitted directly to the lung tissue 2), as in this case, the merger quickly present the findings of pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia images seem at first glance and, like a blood test if infection is suspected, rapid flu test negative even if the A (H1N1) pdm thought to be infected should be addressed in mind.

    The heavy concentration of cases in Japan, which would need to consider the characteristics of patients and severe compared with other countries.

    Is this due to ketosis?

    Ketone bodies, from the breakdown of fatty acids to acetyl groups, are also produced during this state, and are burned throughout the body. Excess ketone bodies will slowly decarboxylate into acetone. That molecule is excreted in the breath and urine
