			==General==
			*Due to ''Aspergillus''.
			*Fungus.
			*Associated with immunosuppression/immunodeficiency.
			**Rarely in immune competent individuals.<ref name=pmid7844909>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Sugimura \| first1 = S. \| last2 = Yoshida \| first2 = K. \| last3 = Oba \| first3 = H. \| last4 = Hashiguchi \| first4 = K. \| last5 = Nakajima \| first5 = M. \| last6 = Moriya \| first6 = O. \| last7 = Okimoto \| first7 = N. \| last8 = Niki \| first8 = Y. \| last9 = Soejima \| first9 = R. \| title = [Two cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in non-immunocompromised hosts]. \| journal = Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai Zasshi \| volume = 32 \| issue = 10 \| pages = 1032-7 \| month = Oct \| year = 1994 \| doi = \| PMID = 7844909 }}
			</ref>

			==Microscopic==
			Features:
			*Hyphae that branching with 45 degrees angle - '''key feature'''.<ref name=Ref_APBR682>{{Ref APBR\|682}}</ref>
			**Uniform width - typically ~3-5 μm.
			*Septated - often difficult to see.
			*"Fruiting heads" when aerobic - uncommon.
			**Spherical structures ~50 micrometres in diameter with radially arranged structures (like spokes of a wheel) +/- an empty centre in the plane of section.

			DDx:
			*[[Mucormycosis]] - irregular width.
			*Scedosporium prolificans - in immunoincompetent individuals.<ref>URL: [http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case290.html http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case290.html]. Accessed on: 14 January 2012.</ref>
