Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Due To Domestic Mold
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a syndrome caused by repeated inhalation of specific antigens from environmental exposure in sensitized individuals. It is considered a granulomatous interstitial disease of the lungs. HP is the result of a cell-mediated immune response of the lung to a wide variety of inhaled antigens. The mainstay of diagnosis and management is a careful exposure history and further avoidance of the causative agent if it is identified.
