Patients that have received organ transplants or suffer lung conditions are particularly susceptible. In humans the three primary types of infections are allergic aspergillosis (affects asthma, cystic fibrosis and sinusitis patients), acute invasive aspergillosis, and disseminated invasive aspergillosis.
