Abstract
Pneumonia is one of the most common respiratory tract infection in the pediatric age group. Recurrence of pneumonia in child is of concern. The diagnostic workup is dependent on whether infection repeatedly occurs in the same lung lobe, or affects multiple lobes and/or different areas in different episodes. A 7-year-old boy was admitted with a second episode of left lower lobe pneumonia. The chest X-ray demonstrated a nonhomogeneous opacity without a clearly recognizable segmental distribution. A diagnosis of superinfection of an intralobar sequestration was made. The patient was treated with systemic antibiotics and 14 days later the child improved symptomatically
