So that is odd to me! I was diagnosed with invasive aspergillosis last summer after a lung procedure. A blood test that picks up aspergillosis is probably not good. I am hoping it was an allergy blood test that showed you are allergic to mold - specifically aspergillosis. Trilogy will not help aspergillosis in your lungs. It may be good for your asthma, but if you have aspergillosis get yourself to an infectious disease doctor asap!!! You will be put on something like Vfend or Cresemba - after it is effectively diagnosed. (@irene5)
