  • Title: Pigeon fancier's lung in children.
    Author: Chandra S, Jones HE.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1972 Oct; 47(255):716-8. PubMed ID: 4673639.
    Abstract:
    Pigeon fancier's lung occurred in 3 children whose fathers kept pigeons. The clinical features included progressive breathlessness, cough, cynanosis, sweating, and inspiratory râles. Chest x-rays showed diffuse fine mottling. The serum gave positive precipitin tests to pigeon serum or droppings in each case. 2 cases were treated with steroids, but the importance of breaking the contact with pigeons is stressed.
