Symptoms of Aspergillosis

What are the Symptoms of Aspergillosis?

The different kinds of aspergillosis can cause different symptoms.
Symptoms of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) may include:

Wheezing
Coughing
Fever (in rare cases)

Symptoms of invasive aspergillosis may include:

Fever
Chest pain
Coughing
Shortness of breath
Aspergilloma, or “fungus ball”

Other symptoms may develop if the infection spreads beyond the lungs. When invasive aspergillosis spreads outside of the lungs, it can cause symptoms in almost any organ. If you have symptoms that you think are related to aspergillosis, contact your doctor.
