Overview
Aspergillosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause fever, chest pain, dyspnea, sinusitis, allergic symptoms, and elevated IgE concentrations. Differential diagnosis includes other infections (fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites), non-infectious pulmonary diseases (such as asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, and lung tumors), cardiac diseases (such as pericarditis, endocarditis, or myocarditis), facial diseases (such as infectious sinusitis, sinus tumor, or nasal polyps), systemic diseases (such as Hyper IgE syndrome, Churg-Strauss syndrome, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Goodpasture's syndrome), congenital diseases (such as cystic fibrosis or ciliary dyskinesia), transplant-related complications (such as GVHD), diseases with cutaneous manifestations (such as eczema, scabies, deep vein thrombosis, cellulitis), and adverse drug reactions.

- COPD exacerbation
- Cryptococcosis
- Ciliary dyskinesia
- Cystic fibrosis
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Drug - adverse reaction
- Eczema
- Endocarditis
