Hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a dog associated with Geastrum triplex spores☆
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a syndrome reported in humans, and occasionally animals, that results from the inhalation of very small antigenic particles (usually <5 µm) that are able to reach the alveolar space. This is the first report of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a dog in Australia and the first associated with Geastrum triplex spores. Diagnosis was based on known antigen exposure, p...
متن کاملHypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by spores of Pholiota nameko.
A 42-year-old man experienced recurrent episodes of nonproductive cough, fever, and dyspnea on exertion. He had worked as a mushroom farmer for 10 years. The diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis was confirmed immunologically by detecting a precipitin to spores of Pholiota nameko but not to other antigens. After separation from the antigen along with an addition of corticosteroid therapy, t...
متن کاملHypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by spores of Lyophyllum aggregatum.
OBJECTIVES Lyophyllum aggregatum (LA) is called Shimeji in Japanese and is eaten commonly as a mushroom. Shimeji mushrooms are cultivated in an indoor environment all year round. This study aimed to clarify the clinical features of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) induced by LA. PATIENTS AND SETTING Ten patients showed mild respiratory symptoms including dry cough, sputum, and low-grade feve...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of serum precipitins to mould antigens in active hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Serum precipitins have a controversial diagnostic value in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). The present authors' objective was to assess their diagnostic value by developing scores from a panel of specific antigens tested by two techniques (electrosyneresis and double diffusion) to discriminate active HP from other interstitial lung diseases. Consecutive patients presenting with a condition f...
