Aspergillosis - Causes, Symptoms, Treatments & More…

Aspergillosis is a disease caused by a fungus (or mold) called Aspergillus. The fungus is very common in both indoors and outdoors. Most people breathe in the spores of the fungus every day without being affected. But some people get the disease. It usually occurs in people with lung diseases or weakened immune systems.
There are different kinds of aspergillosis. One kind is allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (also called ABPA). Symptoms of ABPA include wheezing and coughing. ABPA can affect healthy people but it is most common in people with asthma or cystic fibrosis.
Another kind is invasive aspergillosis, which damages tissues in the body. It usually affects the lungs. Sometimes it can also cause infection in other organs and spread throughout the body. It affects people who have immune system problems, such as people who have had a transplant, are taking high doses of steroids, or getting chemotherapy for some cancers.
Your doctor might do a variety of tests to make the diagnosis, including a chest x-ray, CT scan of the lungs, and an examination of tissues for signs of the fungus. Treatment is with antifungal drugs. If you have ABPA, you may also take steroids.

People with allergy to mold also react badly to aspergillus. It feels like pneumonia!

Your misfortune was living in the Eastern U.S. where fungal diseases are less common, as opposed to the Southwest where the experienced doctors are, especially in Arizona. That's because Valley Fever is endemic to the Southwest and West Coast, and that's where the specialists are. Fungal diseases are pretty similar, and if Valley Fever is not diagnosed, then they'd be pretty sure it's another fungal disease. The actress Suzanne Somers was in a similar position as your mother...diagnosed with breast cancer, various doctors insisting on cancer treatments. But maybe because of her notoriety she insisted on multiple opinions. She was ultimately diagnosed with Valley Fever and thankfully avoided the false cancer diagnosis, and proceeded with appropriate treatment. She would likely have contracted VF in the Palm Springs area where she lives, so the VF specialists were only one state over.

When fungal ball disintegrates into smaller pieces and scattered inside lungs misdiagnosed as tuberculosis.sad but true.

I has Asthma for 32 years when I got my second Covid shoot. Shortly after I developed a cough with phlegm and shortness of breath. Tried prednisone twice. Inhalers and antibiotics this went on for over 12 months
Finally got 2 blood test and CT scan. Dr. Said I had aspergillosis.
She desided on prednisone to treat it. She gave me a sample dose of Cadista prednisone this seemed to help for the first time saw a small change. So I got a prescription of prednisone not Cadista. I took it and that night I thought I was going to die. I called my Dr's. Office and sad i want some of the Cadista prednisone. I had to go to the Dr office and wait to get it. She didn't believe it would make any difference. But I could tell the difference. So she finally broke down and gave me some more. These made me better. She still couldn't believe it.
I was not taking no for an answer. I called Cadista to find out which pharmaceutical carried Cadista.
I told my doctor and had to call several times to get the Cadista prednisone prescription. 100 pills are about $40 with good rx These have helped me tremendously. After about 14 days I am much better. Can breath no phlegm. I used my nebulizer every evening to help me cough up all kinds of crap. I forced the coughing ever night. THE THING IS WITHOUT GETTING THE FIRST SAMPLE OF THE CADISTA PREDNISONE I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE HERE.
SO IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE AS I DID.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRING THE CADISTA PREDNISONE. 50MG PER DAY ANDNOW I AM TAKING 50MG EVERY OTHER DAY. I DID PRAY TO GOD TO HELP ME AND HE ANSWERED WITH THE DOCTORS TRIAL SAMPLE. SO IF YOU HAVE ASTHMA AND ASPIRGILIOS PLEASE TRY THE CADISTA PREDNISONE.

Two days ago I breathed in a large cloud of spores from an unknown mold because I made a stupid mistake. My lungs and chest hurt, I have a horrible sinus headache, congestion, chills, and night sweats. I have a spiroid disorder and fibromyalgia and not sure whether I have more autoimmune disorders or not and I suspect that I may have Sjogren’s syndrome. My immune system is weak to begin with and it is down right now because of a week of almost no sleep and high stress. The doctor is only willing to do a “breathing test“ and I’m not sure what to do. It seems that no matter where I go the doctors refuse to do anything about it nor will they treat me prophylactically. Any suggestions? I don’t understand how you can tell the doctor that you literally inhaled a cloud of mold spores of an unknown species and that you have symptoms in your lungs and sinuses and they still refuse to order necessary test or have no clue what test order to begin with and refused to treat prophylactically. I called the doctors exchange because it’s a weekend and was basically turned away. I have to now wait until Monday to request help from a different doctor and he will most likely disregard it as well. I called the ER and ask if they could determine if I have mold in my lungs for the CT scan and they told me no, that there are no tests to detect mold which is bullshit. Furthermore I have nothing to disinfect the area west as it’s in the air and Lysol won’t kill it nor will any of the other disinfectant sprays so I’m probably still breathing it in just not in such a high concentration all at once. I’m terrified it’s one of the dangerous molds and it seems like it is because of the symptoms and I’m
Worried that it’s going to not only grow in my lungs but spread.

Pattchy lungs best treated with concentrated vapour inhalation most preferably with camphor pretreated with ayurvedic herbs and small doses of antifungal medications in oral form.

I have Asthma.... does that mean I'll be infected at some point?!
