  • Title: [Asthmatic child without asthma].
    Author: Hilhorst MI, van Ewijk E, Veenhoven RH, Roorda RJ.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1999 Dec 04; 143(49):2449-52. PubMed ID: 10608981.
    Abstract:
    Two boys aged 13 and 7 years, displayed chronic coughing, dyspnoea on exertion, anorexia, weight loss, and fatigue. At first a diagnosis of asthma was made. However, a correct interpretation of anamnestic and clinical features, laboratory findings and radiographic results led to the diagnosis of 'pigeon breeder's disease' in both cases. Both patients recovered after drug treatment and avoidance of re-exposure to pigeon antigen.
