What is fungal pneumonia? Learn about signs

Fungal pneumonia is a respiratory infection caused by inhaling fungal spores. It can be serious, especially for those with weakened immune systems.

Older adults, young children, people with weakened immune systems, and those exposed to high levels of fungi are at higher risk. Treatment involves antifungal medications and avoiding triggers.
