Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is an infection caused by a common mold called Aspergillus, found in the environment, especially in soil and decaying matter. It can affect anyone, but those with weakened immune systems or lung diseases are at higher risk. Symptoms vary depending on the infection type but can include coughing, fever, and difficulty breathing. Aspergillosis can lead to serious health issues, including lung damage or widespread infections. Treatment often involves antifungal medications and, in severe cases, surgery to remove infected tissue. Early diagnosis is important for effective management.
