  • Title: Severe hypoxemia in farmer's lung disease with normal findings on chest roentgenogram.
    Author: Arshad M, Braun SR, Sunderrajan EV.
    Journal: Chest; 1987 Feb; 91(2):274-5. PubMed ID: 3802943.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old woman farmer developed an acute episode of fever, cough, and shaking chills with persistent shortness of breath. Her PaO2 was 51 with a restrictive pattern on pulmonary function. Her diffusion capacity was 36 percent of predicted. In spite of these abnormalities, she always had normal chest roentgenographic findings. Further studies, including a lung biopsy, led to the diagnosis of farmer's lung disease.
