Aspergillosis is a type of respiratory infection caused by mold spores of the Aspergillus species. It is most commonly found in people who have weakened immune systems or underlying chronic diseases. The most common organs affected by aspergillosis are the lungs and the sinuses.

Lungs

The lungs are the most commonly affected organ by aspergillosis. Inhaling the mold spores can cause a serious infection in the lungs, known as pulmonary aspergillosis. This can cause a wide range of symptoms, including chest pain, coughing, fever, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, pulmonary aspergillosis can lead to serious complications, including lung scarring and respiratory failure.

Sinuses

Aspergillosis can also affect the sinuses. This is known as sinus aspergillosis. It can cause inflammation of the sinuses, as well as facial pain, congestion, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, sinus aspergillosis can spread to the brain and cause serious complications.

The most common organ affected by aspergillosis is the lungs. Aspergillosis is a type of infection caused by a fungus called Aspergillus, which is commonly found in the environment. When breathed in, the fungus can cause an infection in the lungs, leading to a range of symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Aspergillosis can also spread to other parts of the body, including the sinuses, eyes, and skin. Treatment for aspergillosis may include antifungal medication, surgery, and supportive care.
