===General===
{{Main|Aspergillosis}}
*Due to ''Aspergillus''.
*Fungus.
*Associated with immunosuppression/immunodeficiency.

===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.
