What is Aspergillosis?
Aspergillosis consists of a wide-spectrum of clinical pathology. It is an infection, a growth, or an allergic response caused by the Aspergillus fungus. Aspergillus are common in the soil and decaying vegetation.

Aspergillosis usually only affects people with pre-existing health conditions, as most healthy people have natural immunity to it.
Types of aspergillosis

This infection may affect the lungs, ear canal, skin or the mucous membranes of the eye, nose or urethra. May cause pulmonary aspergillosis in individuals with asthma. More common in the immunocompromised individual (AIDS).

ASPERGILLOSIS
A fungal infection resulting from Aspergillus, it is also known as aspergillomycosis.
aspergillosis: An infectious fungal disease that occurs most often in the skin, ears, nasal sinuses and lungs of people with suppressed immune systems.
aspirate (AS-pi-rit): Fluid withdrawn from a lump, often a cyst, or a nipple.
Aspergillosis: Infection with the fungus Aspergillus, seen especially in people with a deficient immune system.
Aspergillosis is a spectrum of diseases of humans and animals caused by members of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis is primarily an infection of the lungs caused by the inhalation of airborne spores of the fungus Aspergillus.
Aspergillosis begins when susceptible people inhale mold spores into their lungs. In some people, the spores trigger an allergic reaction. Other people develop mild to serious lung infections.

Currently, the pathophysiology of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is postulated to be similar to that of allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease (a term replacing bronchopulmonary aspergillosis).
Pulmonary aspergillosis may present with fever, cough or sinusitis. CNS involvement may present with changes in behaviors or physical status. Disseminated infection may appear as nodules on the skin.
