Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an inflammation of the alveoli and distal bronchioles caused by an immune response to inhaled allergens.

Exposure to an antigen is the key epidemiologic factor - most commonly including Actinomycetes bacteria, animal proteins, or reactive chemicals.

Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion when evaluating individuals with interstitial lung disease or recurrent flu-like illness.

Various tests may be used to corroborate a presumptive diagnosis, but no test is pathognomonic.

Treatment involves avoidance of the causative agent and use of corticosteroids.

Определение

HP, also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is the result of non-IgE mediated immunologic inflammation. HP is caused by repeated exposure to an antigen, usually through inhalation. Potential antigens include proteins of natural plant or animal origin, a chemical conjugated to a human airway protein (such as albumin), and some drugs (via ingestion).[1][2] The inflammation of HP manifests itself in the alveoli and distal bronchioles. Historically, HP has been categorized as acute, subacute, or chronic, depending on the frequency, duration, and intensity of exposure, and the duration of illness.[3][4] However, these categories are not easily separated. The American Thoracic Society, Japanese Respiratory Society, and Latin American Thoracic Association diagnostic guidelines published in 2020 classify patients as having fibrotic or nonfibrotic HP. Classification is determined by the predominant presence or absence of fibrosis on radiologic and/or histopathologic exam.[5] Many cases of HP are caused by occupational exposure.[6][7]
