aspergillosis

aspergillosis - An infection caused by inhalation of spores of aspergillus, a fungus that grows in decaying vegetation.

Aspergillus is harmless to healthy people but may proliferate in the lungs of people with tuberculosis, worsen the symptoms of asthma, and produce serious, even fatal, infection in people with reduced immunity, such as those taking immunosuppressant drugs.
