Acute exacerbation in chronic bird fancier's lung with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep, 2021
This is a case of chronic bird fancier's lung (BFL) (java sparrow and budgerigars) presenting with acute exacerbation due to exposure to feather duvet. Chronic BFL occasionally can associate with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE). Searching for precipitins against antigens of bird droppings and feather is useful for our clinicians to make a ...

Bird Fancier's lung: An underdiagnosed etiology of dyspnea. [PDF]

Respir Med Case Rep, 2020
Bird Fancier's Lung is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an immunologically mediated lung disease due to repetitive exposure of air-borne avian antigen. This was first described in 1965 and is known as one of the most common causes of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Evaluation of cases with hypersensitivity pneumonia: 10 year analysis. [PDF]

Clin Respir J, 2023
The aim of this study was to examine the clinical features of hypersensitivity pneumonia cases, diagnostic methods, and related conditions in our hospital, which is a reference clinic in Turkey for chest disease. HP is a common immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease induced by repeated exposure to environmental and occupational antigens. Etiological

Rituximab therapy in a patient with steroid-refractory bird fancier's lung. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep, 2020
A 62-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of shortness of breath on exertion and dry cough. On examination, she was noted to have fine end-inspiratory crepitations over the upper zone of the lungs. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) showed a restrictive defect.

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: Challenges of a Complex Disease. [PDF]

Can Respir J
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a complex interstitial lung disease caused by chronic inhalation of a wide variety of antigens in susceptible and sensitized individuals, commonly associated with an occupational exposure. An impressive number of inciting antigens causing hypersensitivity pneumonitis have been found to cover a wide range of ...

Pulmonary fibrosis: pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies. [PDF]

MedComm (2020)
This figure illustrates the interconnected and mutually reinforcing relationship between the study of mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of PF. The cycle begins with understanding the mechanisms underlying PF, which leads to the formulation of novel hypotheses. These hypotheses drive the development of new diagnostic tools and classification efforts,

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Associated with Red-Vented Bulbul: A New Encounter of Bird Related Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. [PDF]

Case Rep Pulmonol, 2019
Bird related hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is becoming more common than other forms of HP around the world. We present two cases of HP, associated with exposure to visiting birds which had nested within their homes in semi urban areas of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Is bird fancier's lung associated with coeliac disease? [PDF]

Thorax, 1978
Precipitin responses to different avian serum antigens occur in bird fancier's lung (BFL) and coeliac disease. Failure to distinguish between them could encourage an erroneous diagnosis of BFL in patients with coeliac disease, and the recent suggestion that these two disorders are strongly associated may be questioned, partly for this reason.
