Chest CT scan images in patients with ARDS and one or more respiratory tract culture positive for Aspergillus spp., categorized as having putative invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) or Aspergillus colonization [16]. CT scan slices depicted a ARDS-typical bilateral basal consolidations, together with ground-glass opacities (left panel) and left anterior pneumothorax (right panel) in a patient categorized as having putative IPA; b right upper lobe cavitation (left panel), together with nodular lesions (right panel) in a patient with necrotizing group A Streptococcus, categorized as having Aspergillus respiratory tract colonization; and c nodular lesions with ground-glass opacities (left panel) and alveolar consolidations (right panel) in a patient categorized as having putative IPA
