A four-year-old Pakistan boy presented to the Accident and Emergency Department because of cough and shortness of breath for two days. He had past history of microcephaly and developmental delay, with regular follow-up in the Department of Paediatrics. No history of injury or recent travel was reported. He was afebrile with SpO 2 of 95% on oxygen supplement (by nasal cannula at 2 litres per minute). His pulse rate was 130 beats per minute. Examination of his chest revealed equal air entry on both sides with mild crepitations. Chest radiography was performed (Figure 1).
