In Chinese medicine, fungal pneumonia belongs to category of "Cough" or "Wind-warm" syndrome. It is caused by the dysfunction of the lungs due to the invasion and attack of evils(wind, cold, damp, heat). As time goes on, the patient's immunity goes down, thus leading to fungal pneumonia. Integration of Chinese medicine and western medicine would be a good choice for this disease. When treating fungal pneumonia, Chinese doctors will take everything into consideration, including the following conditons.

1. Pneumocystis pneumonia, which typically occurs in immunocompromised people.
2. Sporotrichosis, primarily a lymphocutaneous disease, but can involve the lungs too.
3. Cryptococcosis, contracted through inhalation of soil contaminated with the yeast, manifesting as a pulmonary infection.
4. Aspergillosis, resulting in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
5. Candidiasis has pulmonary manifestations in immunocompromised patients.
6. Pulmonary Scedosporiosis.
7. Histoplasmosis, which has primary pulmonary lesions and hematogenous dissemination.
8. Coccidioidomycosis, which begins with an often self-limited respiratory infection.
9. Pulmonary blastomycosis.
