Study Notes
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
- Granulomatous reaction to inhaled organic antigens (e.g., pigeon breeder's lung)
- Presents with fever, cough, and dyspnea hours after exposure; resolves with removal of the exposure
- Chronic exposure leads to interstitial fibrosis

Description
Explore the complexities of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a granulomatous reaction to inhaled organic antigens such as those found in pigeon breeder's lung. This quiz covers its symptoms, including fever, cough, and dyspnea, and discusses the resolution of symptoms upon removal of exposure. Learn about the potential consequences of chronic exposure, which can lead to interstitial fibrosis.
