It is a rare, multisystem infection of childhood and it may present with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and complications. However, lung involvement is extremely rare in the course of childhood brucellosis. This case report describes a 6-year-old child who was referred to our hospital as meningococcemia but diagnosed as lobar pneumonia in follow-up.
