Aspergilloma

A

Lung cavitation fills with asoergillus = Fungus ball

like TB, necrotizing infection

136

colonize and who

A

soil, decaying material

140
Q

Mucormycosis (zygomycosis) : Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis

A
  1. acute sinusitis (sinus pain), nasal congestion + discharge
  2. after days : palate, orbit, brain spread
  3. fatal
141
