A seven-month-old female child presented with frequent regurgitation of feeds, recurrent chest infection and failure to thrive for the last four months. The patient was second born full term normally delivered, with a birth weight of 2.8 kg. There was no history of similar complaints in the other sibling. On examination, the patient was febrile, malnourished and pale, and weighed 3.5 kg. Patient's heart rate was 100/min and respiratory rate was 20/min. On chest auscultation, crepitations were heard in the right lower zone.
Abdominal examination was normal. Laboratory investigations revealed a haemoglobin of 9 gm%, total leucocyte count of 25000/mm3 and differential count showed leucocytosis with 80% polymorphs. what's the diagnosis??
