==Risk Stratification and Prognosis==
Case mortality in fungal pneumonias can be as high as 70% in immunocompromised patients, though immunocompetent patients generally respond well to anti-fungal therapy.
 
==Treatment==
Fungal pneumonia can be treated with antifungal drugs and sometimes by surgical debridement.
