Presentation transcript:

Aspergillosis Aspergillosis is a spectrum of diseases of humans and animals caused by members of the genus Aspergillus. These include (1) mycotoxicosis due to ingestion of contaminated foods; (2) allergy and sequelae to the presence of conidia or transient growth of the organism in body orifices; (3) colonization without extension in preformed cavities and debilitated tissues; (4) invasive, inflammatory, granulomatous, necrotizing disease of lungs, and other organs; and rarely (5) systemic and fatal disseminated disease. The type of disease and severity depends upon the physiologic state of the host and the species of Aspergillus involved. Distribution: World-wide. Aetiological Agents: Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans and A. terreus.
