Caption: Aspergillus is a type of mold found in organic matters. Aspergillus affects the lungs primarily. It causes four main syndromes, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, chronic necrotizing Aspergillus pneumonia, aspergilloma, and invasive aspergillosis. In patients with severely weak immune systems, Aspergillus may move beyond the lung, potentially causing endophthalmitis, endocarditis, and abscesses in the myocardium, kidney, liver, spleen, soft tissue, and bone.
