In simple words: Aspergillosis is a fungal infection that usually affects the lungs and sinuses. You get it by breathing in a common mold called Aspergillus. Most people don't get sick from it, but those with weak immune systems or lung conditions are more vulnerable.

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus, commonly found in decaying vegetation, stored grain, and compost. It primarily affects air-containing cavities like lungs and sinuses but can spread to other areas.

Example 1: A patient with a weakened immune system due to chemotherapy develops fever, chills, a cough with bloody sputum, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Tests reveal invasive aspergillosis., A patient with asthma experiences worsening symptoms, including fever, cough, and bloody mucus. Tests confirm allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)., A patient with a pre-existing lung cavity from tuberculosis develops a cough and mild hemoptysis. Imaging reveals an aspergilloma (fungus ball).

Documentation should include patient history, physical exam findings, lab results (including antibody, IgE, and galactomannan tests), imaging reports (chest X-ray, CT scan), sputum culture results, and if performed, tissue biopsy results.
