Diagnosing aspergillosis in cancer patients can be challenging. Symptoms often mimic other conditions and can include fever, chest pain, coughing, and breathlessness. Diagnostic methods include:
Imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans to look for signs of infection in the lungs. Blood tests to detect antibodies or antigens related to Aspergillus. Biopsies or tissue cultures to directly identify the presence of the fungus.
