To-and-fro veno-venous extracorporeal lung assist for newborns with severe respiratory distress.

abstract：:Malaria remains today one of the major health problems in the tropics with increased morbidity and mortality. The most serious complications are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, which, in contrast to the benign malarias, may progress to a life-threatening multi-system disease. Our case concerns a young woman in the 14...
