species causing invasive fungal pneumonia in an immunocompetent patient: a case report.

is a large genus of filamentous fungi that are rarely associated with disease in humans. In the clinical setting, species are often difficult to distinguish from other fungal organisms, particularly species. Invasive fungal pneumonia caused by species has rarely been reported, especially in immunocompetent patients. In this study, we reported a case of invasive pneumonia in a previously healthy 68-year-old woman. The disease was initially misdiagnosed as invasive pneumonia because of the similarity in radiologic and histopathologic findings between these conditions. After was identified via microbiological analysis, the antifungal agent was changed, and the patient recovered fully.
