`Treatment for Aspergillosis
`
`Allergic forms of aspergillosis
`
`For allergic forms of aspergillosis such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) or allergic Aspergillus sinusitis, the
`recommended treatment is itraconazole, a prescription antifungal medication. Corticosteroids may also be helpful.
`
`Invasive aspergillosis
`
`Invasive aspergillosis needs to be treated with prescription antifungal medication, usually voriconazole. Other antifungal
`medications used to treat aspergillosis include lipid amphotericin formulations, posaconazole, isavuconazole, itraconazole,
`caspofungin, and micafungin. Whenever possible, immunosuppressive medications should be discontinued or decreased.
`People who have severe cases of aspergillosis may need surgery. Other invasive forms of aspergillosis such as chronic
`pulmonary aspergillosis and cutaneous aspergillosis should be treated similarly to invasive aspergillosis. Aspergillomas
`(“fungus ball”) might not need treatment.
