Fungi – Multiple pulmonary nodules may be due to a fungal infection such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, or cryptococcosis. Invasive aspergillosis is likely in immunocompromised hosts. Nodules due to fungal infection tend to be 0.5 to 3 cm in diameter and do not have a predilection for a specific region of the lungs | |||
