case_images: CT chest of a 52-year-old lady. (a-c) CT at the time of admission. (a) Axial, (b) coronal, (c) sagittal images showing multifocal areas of consolidation with surrounding halo of ground glass attenuation (red arrows). Focal bronchiolectasis is also evident in lingular and posterior basal segments (yellow arrows) due to previous infections. (d-f) CT after 14 days of voriconazole therapy. Significant resolution of consolidations is seen with small areas of cavitation in left upper lobe.. CT, computed tomography.

case_images: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) thorax showed multiple patchy areas of consolidation with surrounding ground glass opacities (Figure 1(a)-(c)). Repeat imaging (after 14 days of voriconazole treatment) showed a significant resolution in consolidation and ground glass opacities (Figure 1(d)-(f)).
case_images: (a) Showing the velvety cinnamon brown colonies of Aspergillus terreus complex over the SDA agar slope after an incubation period of 10 days. (b) Showing the LPCB (Lactophenol Cotton Blue) mount with thin hyaline septate hyphae with biseriate and densely columnar conidia.
