About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Aspergillosis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Aspergillosis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Aspergillosis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Aspergillosis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
