  • Title: Feather wreath lung: chasing a dead bird.
    Author: Meyer FJ, Bauer PC, Costabel U.
    Journal: Eur Respir J; 1996 Jun; 9(6):1323-4. PubMed ID: 8804956.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 50 year old clerk with chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis due to a wreath of feathers from his dead budgerigar hanging in his living-room. Diagnosis was confirmed by serum precipitins, bronchoalveolar lavage and open lung biopsy. It is important to recognize unusual sources of exposure in this disease.
