Rheumatic pneumonia is a well-described burt very rare manifestation of rheumatic fever, that is generally fatal. Even though necropsy confirmation is ideally required, with clinical features of consolidation and absence of features of cardiac failure one can think the possibility of rheumatic pneumonia.
