Abstract
- Two cases of MOFS (multi-organ-failure-syndrome) are presented. Pulmonary embolism was an initial presentation in one case, acute pneumonia in the other. In both cases intensive supportive treatment including mechanical ventilation was instituted because of acute respiratory failure. Sequential dysfunction and/or failure of other organs were observed. Both patients died despite 3 and 7 weeks of intensive treatment, respectively. In both cases MOFS was confirmed by autopsy.
