Having the worst deja vu seeing this chest x-ray of whited out lungs from a novel zoonotic infection
Report in NEJM describing the first critically ill adolescent with #H5N1 D1.1 (aka #BirdFlu) in North America.
A 13 yo rapidly progressed from mild symptoms to respiratory & renal failure. She survived thanks to IMV + ECMO + CRRT.
Scary stuff.
