World Aspergillosis Day 2022

The aim of World Aspergillosis Day is to raise awareness of this fungal infection that like several other fungal infections worldwide is often under-diagnosed. Diagnosis of aspergillosis is difficult and requires specialist expertise (eg UK National Aspergillosis Centre, a European Confederation of Medical Mycology Cente of Excellence), but it also frequently occurs alongside much more common illnesses such as asthma, tuberculosis, COPD. Fungal nodules occasionally get mistaken for lung tumours.
