Although it can directly invade respiratory organs, such as the pleura, pulmonary parenchyma,trachea, pulmonary vessels, and pulmonary muscle, pulmonary involvement is mostly secondary to infection after immunosuppressantuse, and pulmonary parenchyma invasion due to an immune response is relatively rare.
