Mycotic pulmonary infections.
Mycotic infections involve the lungs in the majority of cases. Some of the infections are limited in geographic location, while others are worldwide. Often the patients may present with minimal symptoms, unlike bacterial infections, and these symptoms may persist for a longer duration. In this article the authors describe the clinical and radiographic findings of mycotic infections in humans with emphasis on common features.
