Key result
ECMO successfully supports late-presenting leptospirosis-induced fulminant myocarditis.
Why the study?
Leptospirosis is a rare and deadly disease that is often difficult to diagnose and presents late, limiting time for life-saving interventions.
ECMO can be a crucial life-saving intervention for patients presenting late with leptospirosis-induced fulminant myocarditis.
May support ECMO consideration in rare late leptospirosis myocarditis; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Mittal et al. (2026) studied this question. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation played a crucial role in managing a patient with a rare, late presentation of leptospirosis-induced fulminant myocarditis.
