Voriconazole is effective for (I believe) 23 out of 25 fungal diseases. It does not work for mucormycosis and zygomycetes. Posaconazole is only effective for these. I had a dry cough and minor shortness of breath. I had a chest CT scan that showed (it looked like the cross section of a golf ball) what they thought was a fungal infection. I had a pulmonary biopsy which was not a problem, but did not reveal enough information. The surgeon decided that removal was the only option, which I agreed because zygomycetes is about the worst. I had it removed and spent about 3 days in the hospital. The surgeon felt it was a complete success and a subsequent CT scan confirmed his beliefs. They have tried to grow the culture to confirm what kind of fungal infection, but I haven't received results.
