Thanks so much for your response.

If you don't mind a few more questions. in the past two weeks my father's one eyelid is drooping slightly. When he started the Voriconazole (emperically for aspergillus) this second time around it went away for about 5 days and now it's back, coincidentally the same time the weakness and lethargy worsened as well. (about a month ago - the last time they tried Voriconazole the same thing -helped at first, but then after about 5 days seemed to start to go back to the same symptoms.

What drug did they put you on for it?

I have been trying to email Infectious Disease docs but no luck so far. Can you recommend a specialist to try?

I have been researching a bit on this and his symptoms seem to fit this fungal infection the most but I don't see a specific diagnostic test. How did they diagnose yours? by simply weeding out the others? He had fever and chills before the Voriconazole but that's subsided now. He still has severe weakness, shortness of breath at times, but it's better, confusion at times and now a drooping eyelid.

What symptoms did you have and what specific kind was it diagnosed as? cutaneous? pulmonary? disseminated? rhino? gastro? other?

Thank you so very much for sharing. I truly appreciate it!
