recently had an extensive blood test, in preparation for starting medicine that is supposed to delay the IPF. About 4 items were slightly outside the range. Not unusual.
A few days later another item was added.
Aspergillosis igG, a reading of 82, the max limit is 40. I have been told i don’t need any treatment for this Fungal Infection. Still feel concerned, never had this test before, or any test that is so far out of range.
Anybody had similar experience?
Thanks

Hi, I was hesitant to reply to your post when I read it but please do call the helpline who gave replied and given you the number.....or at least get a second opinion Back in 2013 I was sent for tests for both Aspergillus and bronchiectasis, my GP told me neither were curable but controlled with medications. Luckily my allergy to Aspergillus was very mild .
Aspergillosis is listed on the NHS website, please have a read, I believe as a fungus it can (and should be) controlled with anti-fungal medication to keep it down. Sending you very best wishes Goto4
