The range of clinical presentations of lung diseases associated with Aspergillus spp. is great. The conditions are very frequently misdiagnosed but errors should be avoided if the possibility of a fungal cause is considered and simple immunological tests undertaken. Often no more than skin-prick tests and serum precipitins need to be done. In many cases, fungus is not isolated from the sputum and negative results do not exclude the possibility of A. fumigatus as the causal agent. Treatment often results in marked clinical improvement and there is evidence that suppression of recurrent episodes of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis prevents progressive lung damage.
与曲霉菌属相关的肺部疾病临床表现范围广泛。这些病症经常被误诊，但如果考虑到真菌致病的可能性并进行简单的免疫学检测，就应避免误诊。通常只需进行皮肤点刺试验和血清沉淀素检测。在许多病例中，痰液中未分离出真菌，阴性结果并不排除烟曲霉作为病原体的可能性。治疗通常会使临床症状显著改善，并且有证据表明抑制支气管肺曲霉菌病的复发可防止肺部进行性损害。
