  • Title: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by the spore of Pleurotus Eryngii (Eringi).
    Author: Saikai T, Tanaka H, Fuji M, Sugawara H, Takeya I, Tsunematsu K, Abe S.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2002 Jul; 41(7):571-3. PubMed ID: 12132527.
    Abstract:
    We reported the first case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) by an edible mushroom, Pleurotus Eryngii (Eringi). A 54-year-old woman had worked in a Bunashimeji mushroom factory for 42 months, and she moved to a new factory producing Eringi. Two months after, she was found to have HP by the spore of Eringi. Although no radiological finding was detected 6 months before the onset of HP, serum surfactant protein D (SP-D) had been elevated. We speculated that type II pneumocyte activation might prepare the ground for HP during the former exposure to Bunashimeji, and serum SP-D levels might reflect their conditions.
