Nodular or cavitary lesions indicate an invasive 'mould' disease, while differential diagnoses include pneumonia caused by other microorganisms, such as mycobacteria (in patients from high prevalence areas), Nocardia, Pneumocystis jirovecii or Pseudomonas aeruginosa and infiltrates by the underlying malignancy (Shorr et al, 2004) . Clinical outcome of proven invasive mould infection (aspergillosis or mucormycosis) in neutropenic patients is poor (Lin et al, 2001) , so that early mould-active antifungal treatment should be added to a broad-spectrum anti-pseudomonal beta-lactam in patients whose LI do not have the typical radiological pattern of PcP or lobar bacterial pneumonia (Maschmeyer et al, 2015) . ./cache/cord-310690-50z2kdaj.txt ./txt/cord-310690-50z2kdaj.txt
