Case 2 (a) pathological study showed a respiratory epithelium (pseudostratified ciliated) (arrow). In the underlying chorionnonseptate hyphae associated with an acute neutrophilic infiltrate were identified, Hematoxilin&Eosin, original magnification × 20 (50 m scale lower right). In (b) associated nonseptate hyphae (arrow) and a neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate appear around a nerve (asterisk) Hematoxylin&Eosin, original magnification × 20 (50 m scale lower right) and in (c) there are also nonseptate hyphae (arrow), cellular debris and a neutrophilic infiltrate that destroys the wall of a blood vessel, Hematoxylin&Eosin stain, original magnification × 20 (50 m scale lower right).
