World Aspergillosis Day 2025: How This Fungal Infection Affects Your Health

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus, mainly affecting the lungs, and is risky for those with weakened immune systems.

The infection occurs when people inhale Aspergillus spores, found in environments with mold, dust, or decaying organic material.

Aspergillosis, caused by the Aspergillus fungus, became a major concern in the 20th century, especially for those with weakened immune systems.

World Aspergillosis Day 2025 focuses on raising awareness of symptoms, prevention, and early detection.

People with compromised immune systems, like those with HIV, cancer, or chronic lung diseases, are more vulnerable to aspergillosis.

Common symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, and fatigue.

Prevent exposure to fungal spores and wear a mask in high-risk environments. Aspergillosis is treated with antifungal medications.

World Aspergillosis Day aims to increase awareness of the infection, its symptoms, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
