Overview

Symptoms of aspergillosis are dependent on the clinical syndrome and extent of disease invasion.[1][2] Patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or sinusitis have symptoms typical of asthma and sinusitis, respectively. Symptoms of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis include spiking fever, pleuritic chest pain, productive cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis. Symptoms of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis include chronic fever, weight loss, productive cough, and hemoptysis.

History

  • When evaluating a patient for aspergillosis, a detailed history of the presenting symptom (duration, onset, progression), other associated symptoms, and occupational history should be performed. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are outlined below:[1][2]
  • The following algorithm demonstrates common clinical syndromes that develop following Aspergillus inhalation among different patient groups:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Inhalation of Aspergillus spores
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Healthy host
 
Cavitary lung disease
 
Chronic lung disease or mildly immunocompromised host
 
Immunocompromised host
 
Either asthma, cystic fibrosis, or atopy
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
No sequelae
 
Aspergilloma
 
Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis
 
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
 
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)

Symptoms

  • The specific clinical presentation of aspergillosis is determined by the exact clinical subtype of the disease:[1][2]

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA)

Allergic Aspergillus Sinusitis / Rhinosinusitis

Aspergilloma

  • Most patients with aspergilloma are asymptomatic
  • Mild haemoptysis (most common symptom)
  • Cough
  • Dyspnea
  • Fever (related to bacterial super-infection)

Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Cutaneous Aspergillosis
