Med."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Diagnosing and clinical management of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are still challenging for clinicians. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an important diagnostic tool for patients with suspected central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an inflammatory lung injury, can be treated by mechanical ventilation, fluid management, and even extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In addition, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can facilitate the detection of atypical, rare pathogens in clinical specimens. We report a case of a 65-year-old man with ARDS caused by TBM. He was admitted with a fever and shaking. Despite aggressive initial treatment, the patient progressed rapidly and developed ARDS. Without positive results of mNGS and culture, anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment was started. In order to improve oxygenation levels, he was placed on veno-venous ECMO for 8\u2009days. On day 47, the tracheotomy catheter was pulled out and sealed. The patient was conscious and could communicate with family members as normal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1457413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]],"date-time":"2024-09-18T04:32:54Z","timestamp":1726633974000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Extracorporeal
