A member asked:
Clarification: not currently symptomatic but diagnosis w/viral induced asthma in past. am i at increased risk for aspergillosis having viral induced asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Aspergillosis is not the same as Aspergillus allergy. However there is a form of severe asthma called Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis which is associated with allergy to Aspergillus but only a small % of people with asthma actually develop this condition for reason still not entirely known although genetic predisposition is suspected. This has nothing to do with viral induced asthma.
