Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 25-year-old housewife who presented with Mycoplasma pneumonia who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and required assisted ventilation. During her hospital stay, she developed acute renal failure because of rhabdomyolysis and was put on haemodialysis. She also had difficulty in weaning from ventilator because of acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) variant of the Guillain-Barre syndrome. The patient was treated with antibiotics and corticosteroids. The patient recovered from both the complications gradually.
