Histological findings of transbronchial lung biopsy with Periodic Acid-Schiff stain. A representative section of necrotic tissue admixed with inflammatory exudate showed infiltrations of acute inflammatory cells and fungus colonies in low magnification (a, 100X) as well as budding yeast and hyphae/pseudohyphae appearance in high magnification (b, 400X). Sections of peribronchial tissue disclosed epithelial sloughing with yeast invasion in bronchial mucosa (c, 400X) and bronchial cartilage (d, 400X)
