Aspergillus infection of the airways: computed tomography and pathologic findings.
Aspergillosis is a serious pathologic condition caused by Aspergillus organisms and is frequently seen in immunocompromised patients. In recent years, it has been shown that Aspergillus infection can result in a broad range of airway complications. In this article, we illustrate and review the characteristic computed tomography and pathologic findings of the different manifestations of Aspergillus infection involving the airways.
