Aspergillosis
Aspergillosis is the name of a group of fungal conditions caused by a mould called aspergillus.
The symptoms of aspergillosis vary, depending on the type and the part of the body that's affected.
Aspergillosis is caused by breathing in small particles of a mould called aspergillus.
If it's possible that you have aspergillosis, a number of checks and tests can be carried out to confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific type.
Treatment for aspergillosis varies, depending on the type you have and how severe it is. Most cases are treated with medication, although occasionally surgery may be necessary.
It's virtually impossible to avoid the aspergillus mould completely, but there are some precautions you can take to reduce your risk of developing aspergillosis.
