I know that I am allergic to aspergillus, and it was found during a bronchoscopy, but not in my sputum samples (same with MAC.) What were your "symptoms of fungal infection?" I'm wondering if aspergillus is creating my cavities.

@letsjustbreathe I had a weird looking pneumonia in my left upper lung as well as multiple nodules throughout on my CT. I went to ER with a significant lung hemorrhage. My bronchoscopy showed Aspergillosis and MAC. The pneumonia and mass in my upper left lobe resolved after treatment with antifungal but the nodules and BE stayed. No cavities yet. So, they determined that was from the MAC. My MAC treatment has gone better than expected. It’s just a long commitment.
