Histopathological Implications of Aspergillus Infection in Lung
Figure 2
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, fused lobular consolidation. (a) The lesion comprising a fusion of solidified lobules is seen on a section of lung (white arrow head). The necrotic cavity is usually present at the center. (b) Ordinary bronchopneumonia can be seen (Hematoxylin-Eosin, X20). (c) Alveoli present due to the invasion of hyphae are filled with neutrophils (Hematoxylin-Eosin, X200). (d) Growth of fungus is present in the airspace (GMS, X400).
