You are right, sometimes you just can believe to your doctors.
Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (
Aspergillus), which is commonly found growing on dead leaves, stored
grain, compost piles, or in other decaying vegetation. So, I can bet you were in some forest or jungle just before you got your symptoms for the first time.
The primary target organ is lungs.
It can cause colonization and growth in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease or even an invasive infection with pneumonia that is spread to other parts of the body by the bloodstream.
With blood this infection can show in other organs like eye for example causing blindness, and any other organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys.
Invasive aspergillosis is treated with several weeks of intravenous amphotericin B, an antifungal medication.
