Aspergillus Fumigatus Allergen

Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungus that can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals, leading to a condition called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). This condition is characterized by inflammation and scarring in the lungs, often accompanied by symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. ABPA is most common in individuals with asthma or cystic fibrosis.
