She needs to have one of two procedures performed: a trans-tracheal wash or a bronchoalveolar lavage. Both of these will collect samples from deep in the airways that can then be submitted for bacterial and fungal culture and cytology. Playing the odds with where you live...I would rule out fungal pneumonia(Blastomycosis).
Best of luck...
