Hi. I'm 37 years old and in last year I experienced a trauma caused by many doctors and plus with my own symptoms.
A year ago I started to fever, malaise and cough. At the beginning I thought is was cold caused by some trivial bacterial infection.
So, I contacted my doctor and he prescribed me some antibiotics.
I used them but they didn’t help me at all. I went to another doctor and he also just prescribed me some other antibiotic but effect was the same.
I even started with coughing up blood or brownish mucous plugs. This scared me a lot and I searched help for the third time from some local healed who at least set the right diagnosis- this wasn’t some usual cold but some fungal infection called aspergillosis.
Any experience on this field?

You are right, sometimes you just can believe to your doctors.
Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (Aspergillus), which is commonly found growing on dead leaves, stored grain, compost piles, or in other decaying vegetation. So, I can bet you were in some forest or jungle just before you got your symptoms for the first time.
The primary target organ is lungs.
It can cause colonization and growth in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease or even an invasive infection with pneumonia that is spread to other parts of the body by the bloodstream.
With blood this infection can show in other organs like eye for example causing blindness, and any other organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys.
Invasive aspergillosis is treated with several weeks of intravenous amphotericin B, an antifungal medication.
