Summary Pulmonary pneumatoceles are thin‐walled, air‐filled cysts that develop within the lung parenchyma. Most often, they occur as a sequel of acute pneumonia, commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus in children. Limited data are available about infective pulmonary cysts in newborns. We report a case of a newborn, who developed multiple pneumatoceles after Escherichia coli pneumonia. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2014; 49:E69–E71. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
