Abstract

Fungal pneumoniae is lung infection caused by fungi in which clinical manifestations are not typical, even asymptomatic. Fungal pneumonia prevalences are 68.3% in both lung tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis. Fungal pneumoniae is often undiagnosed early but later or late diagnosed and it make fails or not optimal treatment. Clinical manifestation and radiograph Fungal pneumoniae are not specific. The aim of this study is to know sensitivity and spesificity of chest radiograph on Fungal pneumoniae. Fifty five suspected Fungal pneumoniae patients are examined using the chest radiograph (homogeneous round or infiltrate presentation, cavity, compaction of hilum lymphonody in the form of evenly calcified miliary lesions, abscess images) and sputum Fungal culture to determine sensitivity and specificity using Diagnostic test. Positive Fungal culture are 21,8% smaller than Negative Fungal culture (78.2%). The sensitivity value is 83.3% and a specificity value is 25.6%. In conclusion chest radiograph can be used as a screening examination in patients with suspected Fungal pneumoniae, However, it cannot be used as a screening for healthy patients which showed a negative Fungal culture while the patients are suspected Fungal pneumoniae.
