Radiographic appearance of pulmonary nodules with (a) H. capsulatum. Coned-down view of the right lower lung demonstrates uniform sized (1–2 mm in diameter) nodules, a miliary pattern, that was seen bilaterally in this patient with histoplasmosis. Again this is a pattern that is not unexpected with disseminated fungal infection (or occasionally tuberculosis). (b) C. neoformans. Anteroposterior chest film reveals several distinct bilateral lung nodules. The margins are discreet and in some cases well defined. The sizes range from approximately 1–1.5 cm in diameter. These larger nodules (as compared to the disseminated examples of histoplasmosis) have been described in patients with wide-spread pulmonary cryptococcosis.
