A twenty-month-old female child presenting with fever and cough. A: Anteroposterior chest radiography revealing the presence of bilateral, diffuse, ill defined, coalescent opacities in the middle lobe, conditioning the partial fading of the cardiac silhouette. B: Computed tomography, axial section identifying bilateral, predominantly central consolidations with air bronchograms. C: EGDS demonstrating reflux. As no clinical and radiological improvement was observed after antibiotic therapy, lung biopsy was indicated and showed foreign body granulomas and vegetal fibers presumably coming from gastroesophageal reflux. After appropriate treatment, clinical and radiological healing was observed.
