The X-rays and the laboratory exams are shown. The films reveal alveolar multifocal infiltrates, different from the interstitial pattern that commonly appears in viral pneumonias. It was significant the trombocitopenia proved in one of the patients, a fact that has been rarely reported. This work try to contribute to the best knowledge of the disease in children.
