Case 2 admitted to the ICU on 9 days after symptom onset with 89 of PaO2/FiO2. Although PaO2/FiO2 of case 2 (dotted line) improved after three consecutive days to 222, it dropped to less than 100. Finally, case 2 died on day 18 from symptom onset. BiPAP, biphasic positive airway pressure; CVVH, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration; PaO2/FiO2, partial pressure arterial oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen; PMX, polymyxin-B-immobilized fiber column; VCV, volume control ventilation.
