A 5-week-old boy born at 32 weeks’ gestation with a history of intubation was discharged at 37 weeks’ corrected gestational age. On the following day, he presented with dyspnoea, apnoea, cough and nasal discharge and was admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit. a Anteroposterior chest radiograph demonstrates right upper lobe atelectasis and left lung hyperaeration (probably related to the low position of the endotracheal tube), multifocal airspace and ground glass opacities in the right middle and bilateral lower lobes and bilateral parahilar reticular opacities. b Anteroposterior chest radiograph, 6 days later, shows bibasilar pneumothoraces, which had increased in size compared to Day 3 (not shown) and increased bilateral airspace opacities with air bronchograms
