People living with aspergillosis can experience a wide range of symptoms, including cough, sputum or mucus, fatigue, breathlessness, chest discomfort and, in some forms of the disease, haemoptysis (coughing up blood). Symptoms vary considerably between people and between different forms of aspergillosis.
Symptoms alone cannot usually tell you whether aspergillosis is active or worsening. Many symptoms can also be caused by asthma, bronchiectasis, infection and other respiratory conditions, so changes need to be considered alongside tests, scans and your overall clinical picture.
This hub brings together information about individual symptoms, what may contribute to them, ways of managing them, and when a new or worsening symptom may need medical assessment.
