Winston Churchill
The extremely witty and much-loved British Prime Minister Winston Churchill tops the list with his verbal spat with Lady Astor. The conservative dame forever admonished Churchill for his cigars and alcohol habits, and Churchill was not one to take the insults lying…
Pulmonary aspergillosis is a fungal infection by the Aspergillus species, most commonly Aspergillus fumigatus. There are 4 distinct forms of pulmonary aspergillosis: allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspergilloma, chronic necrotizing aspergillosis, and angioinvasive aspergillosis. Chest radiograph findings of ABPA include lobar infiltrates, perihilar ‘glove-like’ tubular shadows representing mucus-filled bronchiectasis, and tram-line bronchial walls due to edema. The characteristic features of an aspergilloma are a round mass with an adjacent crescent-shaped air space (arrow). The fungal ball itself may be freely mobile and move when the patient changes position. Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis may appear as segmental areas of consolidation, predominately in the upper lobes, that progress toward cavitation. Angioinvasive aspergillosis most commonly appears as patchy areas of consolidation with multiple nodules and peripheral wedge-shaped lesions due to hemorrhagic infarcts.
