The outline of the histological features induced by crosstalk with the spectrum of virulence of the invading molds (Mucor and Aspergillus) and the degree of impaired defense mechanism. In addition, the algorithm of an automated diagnostic system based on the histological differentiation of these two typical molds will be introduced that have been empirically accumulated in the pathology.
