Aspergillosis - Chest X-Ray
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection. The fungus invades and destroys tissue. This type of infection usually occurs in immunocompromised individuals. Here, a chest X-ray shows that the fungus has invaded the lung tissue (the lungs are usually seen as black areas on an X-ray; the cloudiness on the left side of this X-ray is caused by the fungus).
