Patients with leukemia or diabetes mellitus are especially predisposed to pulmonary mucormycosis.
The lack of pleural effusion, and peripheral lung involvement, inhomogeneous densities, and consolidations with cavitations on the chest roentgenogram are suggestive of fungal infection. Lung biopsy will establish a definitive diagnosis.
Differentiation between mucormycosis, candidiasis and aspergillosis is not possible roentgenologically.
