Abstract

Abstract: Intermediate syndrome with respiratory failure is a serious complication that can be fatal as in our case of a 24‐year‐old‐man who developed intermediate syndrome requiring intubation and respiratory support. Furthermore, the patient's socio‐economic situation significantly impacts the illness's progress and prognosis. Abstract : With this case report, we want to stress how a patient's socio‐economic background affects the course and outcome of a particular disease condition.
