Abstract
The variety of diseases and courses that may be povoqued by fungi in the lungs is consistent with an equal multitude of radiologically-morphologically visible alterations. Only a few of these radiological signs are characteristic with regard to differential diagnosis of the infection. As long as the pathogen has not been identified, a wide range of differential diagnoses must be considered which can only be restricted by careful overall view with all clinical findings. Nevertheless, detailed analysis of the often indistinct x-ray patterns is imperative in order to contribute to evaluating the course and therapy of aspergilloses.Keywords
