world aspergillosis day
1st february
You’re going to breathe in Aspergillus spores.
For 1 in 300 of us these spores cause the fungal infection: Aspergillosis.
Aspergillosis is a rare, debilitating and sometimes deadly infection. It can attack people of any age, but too often medical professionals fail to #ThinkFungus and it goes widely undiagnosed.
The Aspergillosis Trust was created by patients to improve awareness of the disease and raise money for research, whilst also ensuring patients have easily accessible medical information and support.
The Aspergillosis Trust is small but mighty. We help them create important patient leaflets that give details about different types of medication, create campaign videos that supporters can share and engage media so that World Aspergillosis Day gets the recognition it deserves every 1st February.
