| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: In our investigation, we found out that the lung infections can be due to fungus which can make the treatment to cancer a bit confusing for medical therapy. People with weakened immune systems are susceptible to infections by opportunistic fungi and can invade the lungs. Here, one patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of left lung but later on his right lung was found to show multiple cannon ball opacities which were reported to be metastasis by chest X-ray and CT Scan reports. However, it was not the exact case because when treated with anti- fungal drugs, the cannon balls disappeared within two weeks. | |
