Adiaspiromycosis is a fungal disease caused by Adiaspirosporum that affects the lungs and other organs. Adiaspires are anamorphic mushrooms that are oval in shape and can be found in soil, water and other places.

Symptoms of adiaspirosis may include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain and decreased performance. If left untreated, adiaspirosis can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, emphysema, and even death.

Diagnosis of adiaspirosis uses microscopic examination of samples of lung tissue or sputum. Treatment includes the use of antifungal drugs such as amphotericin B or itraconazole.

Prevention of adiaspirosis includes maintaining good hygiene and avoiding contact with contaminated surfaces. It is also important to have regular medical checkups and treatment for any infectious diseases.
