How Does Aspergillus Terreus Affect Cancer Patients?
Cancer patients, especially those undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants, have weakened immune systems. This makes them more susceptible to infections, including those caused by Aspergillus terreus. The fungus can cause a severe infection known as Invasive Aspergillosis, which can lead to serious complications such as lung infections, systemic infections, and even death if not promptly treated.
