A member asked:
Are lung infections with aspergillus normally treated with anti-fungal infections?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Actual infection:Yes: Actual infection with aspergillus is treated with surgery and anti fungals as a supplement. Presence of aspergillus is not proof of infection. Mere presence in the lungs often does not require anti fungals even if there are related symptoms.
