not sure on all the treatments but my Dr in Australia does not believe in Anti-fungals so I am treated with Anti-biotics and Prednisone

Anti fungals are working for me when I was getting three chest infections per year and 5 mg prednisone was not helping.

I tried antifungals, but they didn’t help me.
I have a lot of antihistamine.

I ended up going to Stanford and California the lung doctor there put me on high doses of steroids for several months and later to Kris those as I got steroid poisoning. Anytime you are on 20 megs or more of steroid apparently you have to take a very powerful antibiotic also I also had to be on oxygen. Each of those medication bring on their own symptoms and side effects in addition to your own illness it is a very difficult condition to navigate.

There is two methods of treatment
Either antifungal medications to lower the fungus ( but does not eliminate it)
Or predinsnone ( Solupred) to decrease the antibodies that fight the fungus

Some doctors cud prescribe both together... each has their side effects

Both should lower ige level

again it all depends on which aspergillosis you have ie:
A.fumigatus - it would be a Azole treatment

Remain off most types of alcohol drinks as they can contain some of the yeast in mould. Steroid treatment with possibility if not gett8ng better ant8 fungal drug. The use of HEPA purifier in the house has proved beneficial.

So far the treatment they give me is that breathing machine, prednisone, and antibiotics.

There are several different forms of aspergillosis; invasive (acute), chronic pulmonary (CPA), allergic (ABPA). See https://aspergillosis.org/what-is-aspergillosis/ for more details.

There are also many more potential sites of infection - refer to https://www.aspergillus.org.uk/treatment/treatment-aspergillosis-and-aspergilloma

Allergic forms are managed with oral steroids and antifungal medication.
Chronic infections are maintained mostly using oral steroids and long term antifungal drugs with regular clinic checks.
Acute forms require rapid diagnosis and aggresive antifungal medication.

Anti fungals, perhaps antibiotics, nebulising, inhalers

Posted Oct 17, 2019 by Linda Galbraith 2500
Voriconazole is recommended for primary treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, although combination therapy with voriconazole and echinocandin may be warranted for some high-risk patients. Antifungal therapy for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis should continue for at least 6-12 weeks.
