Aspergillus
is the name of the mold associated with a variety of diseases caused by
the mold Aspergillosis. The widespread forms are allergic
broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergilloma and invasive
aspergillosis.
Humans breathe in Aspergillus spores every day.
Aspergillosis exploit individuals who have an immune deficiancy system,
by disease or from immune assited drugs that keep the immune system in
check, and this is a leading cause in death from acute leukaemia. On
the other hand, it may also develop as an allergic response. The most
common cause is Aspergillus fumigatus.
A fungus nest in the lungs may
cause no symptoms and only discovered with a chest X-ray. Repeated
coughing up of blood and severe, fatal, bleeding. A rapidly persistent
Aspergillus infestation in the lung causes cough, fever, chest pain, and
difficulty breathing.
Aspergillosis also impinge on the deeper
tissues making a person very ill. Warning signs include fever, chills,
shock, disorientation, and blood clots, which also develops into kidney
failure, liver failure, and breathing difficulties. Death can occur
quickly.
Aspergillosis in the ear canal results in itching and
occasionally pain. Fluid leaking from the ear, and sinuses the sense of
congestion or pain and discharge.
Aspergillosis kills people with compromised immune systems. Other diseases caused by known pathogenic molds are: Blast mycosis, Candidiasis,
Coccidioido mycosis, Cryptococcus, Histoplasmosis, Paracoccidio
mycosis, Sporotrichosis, and Zygomycosis, many of these diseases come in
more than one form, and they all infect nearly any part of the body.
