What is Aspergillosis?
Aspergillosis is a term for infections caused by fungi belonging to the genus Aspergillus, the spores of which are airborne and are inhaled by all individuals. Aspergillus is a fungus that grows on decaying vegetation and dead leaves. The disease is then an infection or an allergic reaction caused by a fungus called "Aspergillus". In addition, this type of infection often occurs in the lungs, and mainly in people with low natural defenses.

How do you get aspergillosis?
Infection caused by bacteria...
Does that mean that if I am exposed to it, then I will necessarily be exposed to disease?
If you ask yourself this question, know that the answer is no!
Why ?
In reality, almost everyone encounters this fungus on a daily basis but never contracts the disease. Weird ?

In fact, you're more likely to get infected if you have a weak immune system or have lung disease. Thus, aspergillosis is a combination of exposure to the fungus (Aspergillus) and a weakened immune system.
In addition, be aware that the following elements can carry the fungus:
a compost heap;
stored grain;
marijuana leaves;
decaying vegetation
So if you, for example, work as a warehouse manager or storekeeper in a storage center for agricultural inputs or products, consider boosting your immune system.
So how does aspergillosis manifest? Well, its signs differ from the type of aspergillosis. Types of aspergillosis? In effect! There are different types of aspergillosis.
So,
What are the types of aspergillosis and what are their symptoms?
When you have aspergillosis, the body is affected in different ways, depending on the type of aspergillosis. Also, be aware that certain conditions and medications increase your risk of developing each type.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
You are more susceptible to this type of aspergillosis if you have lung problems such as cystic fibrosis or asthma. In this case, the fungus causes allergic reactions such as coughing and wheezing.
Additionally, you may also experience shortness of breath and a general feeling of being unwell.
Invasive aspergillosis
You are more likely to get it if your immune system is weakened by chemotherapy and conditions such as leukemia, cancer and AIDS.
However, a weakened immune system makes it more difficult to fight infections. Thus, the open field invasive aspergillosis invades your lung tissues and spreads to your kidneys or brain.
Untreated, it can cause infectious pneumonia, a condition that can be fatal in people with weakened immune systems.
In addition, invasive aspergillosis also often occurs in people who already have other medical conditions. Therefore, it can be difficult to separate its symptoms from those of other conditions. These symptoms include:
a cough, sometimes with blood;
fever;
shortness of breath;
pain felt in the chest

Also, be aware that an infection in the lungs can later spread throughout the body, causing new symptoms.
Aspergilloma
In fact, if you have tuberculosis or other lung disease, exposure to the fungus can cause you to develop a "fungal growth."
What is fungal growth?
It is a mushroom ball, usually made up of mushrooms, clots, and white blood cells. Although it doesn't usually spread to other areas of your body, it can grow larger and damage your lung tissue, much like a myoma.
With an aspergilloma, you may have a cough, with or without blood, and shortness of breath.
Also, other symptoms of different types of aspergillosis can include:
chest and bone pain;
vision difficulties;
blood in your urine or hematuria;
less urine;
headache ;
chills ;
difficulty in breathing;
skin sores

How to diagnose it?
If you have difficulty identifying through the symptoms whether you suffer from aspergillosis or not, then you will need to be consulted. You will have to do:
blood tests to check for antibodies, allergens, and fungal molecules;
a chest x-ray;
CT scan of your lungs;
a sputum stain and culture to examine your bronchial mucus
You should also know that for all types of aspergillosis, a lack of response to medication is a critical issue and can be fatal.
The following risks may occur:
airway blockage;
respiratory arrest;
kidney damage;
bleeding in the lungs!
