There are three types of aspergillosis; chronic, the most common; allergic; and invasive, the most severe. The cause of aspergillosis is exposure to the Aspergillus fungus. This fungus is ubiquitous and loves damp areas, older buildings, moist soil, and damp woods and leaves, so working in construction or farm jobs in these areas puts a client at a higher risk of developing an Aspergillus infection. Additionally, risk factors for severe aspergillosis include being immunocompromised because of AIDS or neutropenia, long-term steroid use, or anti-rejection medications after a transplant. Also, chronic lung disease like asthma and cystic fibrosis put clients at increased risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.
