Uhm... APB-what? Are we still talking about Aspergillus spp. here?
Perfectly curable, possibly easier than intestinal candidiasis to nail. Obviously, it's a bit more serious than the common cold and is best addressed before the patient's soul is on its way out of this mortal shell - so, yeah, you can probably get so bad that it'll get you, but it's new symptoms she's talking about here, not something she's been letting eat away at her for decades.
