Abstract
Two infants with fulminant early-onset sepsis syndrome and respiratory failure are described. Adenovirus was isolated from cultures from both patients. Complications during pregnancy and respiratory failure that required tracheal intubation at birth suggested congenital infection. Both infants were successfully treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
