Treatment of a case presenting as critical adenoviral ARDS using Cidofovir with early combinatorial prone ventilation and ECMO

Here, we report a case of adenoviral pneumonia associated with severe ARDS treated with Cidofovir, prone ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient responded well to therapy and recovered without further complications. Cidofovir, with early prone ventilation and ECMO support, may be a therapeutic option for patients with severe ARDS related to adenoviral pneumonia.
