What Are the Hazards of Lung Fungal Infections?

The dangers of lung fungal infections to the human body are mainly manifested in the following aspects: they affect work and quality of life, trigger other complications, and may threaten the patient's life safety.

1. Impact on work and life
People with lung fungal infections may experience lung dysfunction, including long-term symptoms such as cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, and dyspnea. Especially at night, the cough symptoms worsen, severely affecting sleep quality, leading to daytime fatigue and lethargy, reduced quality of life, and impacted work efficiency.

2. Triggering other complications
If lung fungal infections are not treated promptly, the symptoms will worsen, and may be accompanied by complications such as septic shock, pleurisy, lung abscess, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary bulla, severe pneumonia, etc. These complications can affect lung function, and in severe cases, may lead to respiratory failure, endangering the patient's life safety. If the patient is in poor physical condition and not treated promptly, sudden death may occur within a short period of time.
