About Aspergillosis
Aspergillosis is the group of diseases caused by Aspergillus. Patients that have received organ transplants or suffer lung conditions are particularly susceptible. In humans the three primary types of infections are allergic aspergillosis (affects asthma, cystic fibrosis and sinusitis patients), acute invasive aspergillosis, and disseminated invasive aspergillosis. Mortality rates in some patient populations are in excess of 60-70%. The consensus among the medical community is that a prophylactic vaccine which reduces this rate is sorely needed.
