5. Advanced sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that negatively impacts various organs within your body, though its primary target is often your lungs. The lymph glands are also commonly affected in cases of sarcoidosis.
Seeing as sarcoidosis has a tendency to spread to different regions of your body, the symptoms it presents can vary greatly from case to case depending on the spread-path.
If it reaches the brain then seizures and meningitis could occur while enlarged livers and kidney stones could also occur in other patients. As if its wide reach and adverse effects weren’t enough, it can also make you more vulnerable to aspergillus.
One form of the disease known as type IV sarcoidosis is especially dangerous with regard to aspergillus as most patients with it tend to develop aspergillosis at some point or another. If you have type IV sarcoidosis or any other variant then you could be at a higher risk for aspergillosis.
