Description
Munasinghe and co-authors report three cases of invasive lung aspergillosis in a 2025 paper. This fungal infection can kill, and it mainly strikes people with weak immune systems, such as cancer or transplant patients. Severe flu or COVID can also raise the risk. Early signs are often vague, which delays care.
All three patients came in with fever and a productive cough, and one later coughed blood. Scans varied widely, from small nodules to collapsed lung with fluid and air. Diagnosis joined scans, airway samples, and an antigen test. The authors stress early spotting, team care, and hard choices when organs fail.
