A photograph of part of the upper lung lobe of an immunosuppressed patient. The lung tissue shows extenive areas of necrosis due to invasive colonisation.
-
A photograph of a cavity in the upper lobe of the lung of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. Such cavitation,which may be confused with prior tuberculosis, can follow fibrosis.
-
Plugs stained with Methenamine/silverActively growing mycelia of the fungus are a deep brown/black. Counterstaining shows the dense mucus of the plugs as predominantly orange.
-
Sputum from an asthmatic patient showing plugs(casts). The development of plugs coincided with an increased prevalence and severity of episodes of asthma
