I have been diagnosed with aspergillosis from culture a year ago but recent culture shows nothing after 4 weeks. Cat scan in Denver shows ground glass looking things in lower left lung. Could this be the fungas lying dormant? I have been off steroids for asthma for a year now using only albuterol due to them contributing to the aspergillosis but wonder if recent tests accurate? I m also infusing IGG to keep my immune system up.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The diagnosis of Aspergilli depends on the clinical symptoms of the patient like fever, cough, chest pain, skin test for A fumigates, level of IGE and Egg, chest X-ray and CT-scan findings. Culture of saliva or pulmonary aspirates for Aspergillus pneumonia also help to confirm the diagnosis.In regard to the treatment, systemic antifungal therapy is prescribed depending on the severity of the symptoms. You can take Tab Intraconazole, twice daily for 14 days. Thank you.
