You stop and assess the patient. He has a large bruise on his arm and is complaining of abdominal pain where the seat belt contacted his body. Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) are on scene and a responding ambulance has a 2-minute ETA. At this point, you realize that:
 
  A) you cannot leave until another EMT or paramedic arrives to assume care.
  B) you can leave the scene since the patient is stable and EMS is 2 minutes away.
  C) you can only transfer care to a paramedic once he or she arrives on scene.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.
