Abstract

A 5-year-old girl presents with a 4-day history of fever. Routinely recommended immunizations were complete. Blood work showed 24,500 leukocytes with 89% neutrophils. A plain chest radiograph was performed and antibiotic treatment was initiated. Thoracic ultrasound was ordered due to poor clinical evolution.
