B44.78: Other disseminated aspergillus
You have a severe illness caused by molds.
There are molds everywhere in our environment. When we come into contact with molds our defense system usually destroys them. However, these molds can sometimes spread to our body. This can happen when the defense system is weak, for example. The defense system can be weakened by certain illnesses or medicines.
A mold has spread through various parts of your body.
If the mold has spread to various places in your body, you can have a number of symptoms. The symptoms depend on which organs and tissues have been damaged. In that case, you may be seriously ill.
