'''Theory''':[[File:Aspergillosis lung septae.png|thumb|Close-up of the fungi inside the artery. Those transverse PAS-positive things inside the fungi are septa or hyphae. Note how it’s the cell wall of the fungi that is the most PAS positive]]This slide shows a case of necrotizing pneumonia secondary to infection by the fungus ''aspergillus''. The fungi themselves have PAS positive cell walls and can be seen in the artery in the lower right corner.

'''Theory''':

The fungi have septa~~/hyphae~~ that are PAS positive also, as seen on the figure below.
