  • Title: Allergic alveolar diseases. Problems in diagnosis and management.
    Author: Richerson HB.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1976 Sep; 60(9):121-7. PubMed ID: 959074.
    Abstract:
    One of the diagnostic possibilities to consider when a patient presents with cough, fever, dyspnea, or pulmonary infiltrates is hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Some of the problems encountered in diagnosis of diffuse lung disease are illustrated in two case reports. In one of the cases, interstitial pneumonitis of insidious onset was attributed to inhalation of thermophilic organisms in moldy silage. In the other, the outstanding pathologic feature was bronchiolitis obliterans, and circumstantial evidence pointed to a home humidifier as the source of the problem.
