Via imaging (chest X-ray, high resolution CT scanning)[4]
Differential diagnosis
Lung cancer, tuberculosis, other fungal infections[5]
Treatment
Antifungal medications (oral or intravenous),[6][7] surgery,[6] glucocorticoids[8]
Prognosis
Approximately 20-40% mortality at 3 years; 50-80% at 7-10 years[9][10][11]
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a long-term fungal infection caused by members of the genus Aspergillus—most commonly Aspergillusfumigatus.[8] The term describes several disease presentations with considerable overlap, ranging from an aspergilloma[12]—a clump of Aspergillus mold in the lungs—through to a subacute, invasive form known as chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis which affects people whose immune system is weakened. Many people affected by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis have an underlying lung disease, most commonly tuberculosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, asthma, or lung cancer.[8]
