If controlled with drugs can live happy normal life. If chronic and goes undiagnosed life can get difficult with lots of hospital admissions.

Well, I don't want to be a "debbie downer" but prognosis is about 25 to 60% that may respond to anti fungal therapy. So mortality is high because of underlying diseases and having to continue with steroids and other drugs.

Chronic aspergillosis is mostly an incurable infection, but it can be well managed using oral steroids and antifungal medication.

drugs can help control the disease - it is a chronic condition

There is no set prognosis.
It varies from individual to individual, depending on many factors.
It can be chronic, when a flare-up is experienced or when it is first diagnosed.
There are a range of tools to help support and manage.
Attitude is also important
