  • Title: [A small bird gives severe consequences].
    Author: Authried G, Andersen A, Sherson DL.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2011 Dec 05; 173(49):3195-6. PubMed ID: 22142610.
    Abstract:
    In this case we report how a 31 year-old woman developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to her budgerigar. The suspicion that her pet was the reason for her symptoms was confirmed by the finding of specific IgG antibodies against budgerigar proteins. Clinical studies demonstrated a restrictive lung disorder, increased lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage and ground glass changes in high-resolution computed tomography. The patient's symptoms receded over the course of a few days after removal of the animal, and subsequent IgG levels fell.
