Disease/Condition Glossary

Invasive aspergillosis: It is an infection carried on by the fungus Aspergillus. When the infection moves from the lungs to the kidneys, brain, heart, or skin, it manifests itself. It mostly affects people whose immune systems have been compromised by chemotherapy or other illnesses like cancer or AIDS. The signs include coughing, fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath (sometimes with blood).

Mucormycosis: People with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to this uncommon but severe fungal infection of the skin or respiratory system. It can lead to death if not treated. Nasal congestion, headaches, coughs, fevers, and pain in the sinuses are some of the signs of respiratory infections. The signs of a skin infection include blisters or ulcers, redness, swelling, tenderness, and blackened skin tissue.
