Abstract
A 49-year-old man presented with an atypical pneumonia entailing an adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The refractory hypoxemia caused a myocardial infarction, leading us to try pharmacologic treatments. Almitrine bismesilate (AB) infusion allowed improvement of arterial oxygenation during 115 h without adverse effect. This case is, to our knowledge, the first reported prolonged treatment using AB for hypoxemia due to ARDS.
