Abstract
Fungal Pneumoniae is lung infection caused by fungi which clinical manifestations are not typical, even asymptomatic. Fungal pneumonia prevalences are 68.3% in both pulmonary tuberculosis and non-tuberculous lung. Fungal Pneumoniae 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 to know sensitivity and spesivicity of chest radiograph on Fungal Pneumoniae. Fifty five suspect Fungal Pneumoniae patients are examine the chest radiography (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 by Diagnostic test. Positif fungal culture are 21,8% smaller than Negative fungal culture (78.2%). Sensitivity value is 83.3% and a specificity value is 25.6%. In Conclusion chest radiography can be used as a screening examination in patients with suspected fungal pneumoniae, but cannot be used as a screening for healthy patien which showed a negative fungal culture while the patients are suspect Fungal Pneumoniae
