What is the prevalence of Aspergillosis?
How many people does Aspergillosis affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
I find it difficult to answer this question as there are different strains of Aspergillosis, and also that it not a notifiable disease. My consultant has suggested that of my strain there are approx 750 cases in the UK but I don't really know,
I belong to a forum and from the correspondents it would appear that there are more women than men, but this could well be that women are more ready to communicate but I see no logical reason why there should be any discrepancy, I have a gut feeling that there are more adults than children, but this could be due to non diagnosis.

it is all over the world, GPs still do not diagnose people with a aspergillosis condition even when they have occurring chest problems, third world are effected the most due to lack of treatments getting to them and Aids sufferers have practically no immune system

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) likely affects between 1 and 15% of cystic fibrosis patients. One study calculated that 2.5% of adults who have asthma also have ABPA, which is approximately 4.8 million people worldwide.
