Hi..
From your description I feel the child must be suffering from a viral associated wheeze. Obviously an underlying cardiac disease also has to be ruled out. Her coexistent genitourinary infection might be a cause of fever but the cause of cyanosis and breathlessness is usually cardiorespiratory problem. If you have any further questions in this regard I would pleased to clarify.
