Respirology, 2006 Abstract: Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (also known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis) is caused by repeated inhalation of mainly organic antigens by sensitized subjects. This induces a hypersensitivity response in the distal bronchioles and alveoli and subjects may present clinically with a variety of symptoms.

Using Multiple Diagnostic Methods for Occupational Asthma Assessment. [PDF]
Clin Respir JPC20 variability demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy than PEFR monitoring in occupational asthma (OA), with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 92%. PEFR alone resulted in a 22.2% misclassification rate. Incorporating PC20 variability into diagnostic evaluation may reduce misdiagnosis and improve clinical outcomes in high‐exposure settings ...

Clinical utility of a standardized chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis exposure questionnaire
Respirology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 366-372, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Objective Identification of an exposure is integral to the diagnosis, management, and prognostication of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP). Standardized questionnaires may aid in the identification of exposures, however, there currently are no evidence‐based patient‐validated questionnaires available.
