Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTCM) can occur in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and a few cases in literature were reported to be associated with hemodynamic instability. All these patients were managed with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).Case presentation: We present two patients with ARDS-induced TTCM who were managed successfully with venovenous ECMO (VV-ECMO).

Conclusion: Ventricular function in both patients fully recovered three days after ECMO initiation, and they were subsequently weaned from ECMO once pulmonary function improved.

Aims: Primary aim was to review severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) hospitalisations caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children aged < 2 years in paediatric hospitals in Australia. Secondary aims included RSV subtyping, assessing RSV seasonality and contributing to the World Health Organisation's RSV surveillance programme.

Methods: We prospectively reviewed the medical records of children (< 2 years of age) with a confirmed SARI who were admitted to one of four major Australian paediatric hospitals and had a respiratory sample analysed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
