Invasive Aspergillosis

Invasive Aspergillosis is a serious infection caused by a mold called Aspergillus, commonly found in the environment. It primarily affects people with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer treatment or organ transplants. The mold can enter the body through the lungs, leading to severe respiratory issues and other complications. Symptoms may include cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antifungal medications are crucial, as this infection can progress rapidly and be life-threatening if not addressed.
