Inhalation Provocation Tests in Chronic Bird Fancier's Lung
Chest, 2000Patients with chronic bird fancier's lung (BFL) can be classified into two types. One group of patients develops chronic disease with fluctuating acute episodes, including low-grade fever, mild exertional dyspnea, and cough (fluctuating chronic BFL; formerly termed recurrent and relapsing chronic BFL).

Impaired CO transfer factors in bird fancier’s lung
Lung, 1978We studied 24 patients with bird fancier’s lung (proven by serological, clinical and radiological tests) in order to record the severity and pattern of defects in CO transfer. We measured dynamic and static lung volumes (FVC, FEV1, FRC, RV), lung mechanics (Raw, CL), CO transfer factors (TL, TM, VC), CO transfer coefficients (TL/VL, TM/VL, VC/VL) as ...

Bird fanciers lung in mushroom workers.
Irish medical journal, 2015Hypersensitivity pneumonitis has been described in mushrooms workers caused by exposure to mushroom or fungal spores in the compost used to grow mushrooms. We describe two mushroom workers who developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to exposure to avian proteins found in poultry manure which was used in producing mushroom compost.

Immunogenic Proteins Specific to Different Bird Species in Bird Fancier’s Lung
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2014Bird fancier's lung (BFL) is a disease produced by exposure to avian proteins present in droppings, blooms, and serum of a variety of birds. Although serological test results are currently used to confirm clinical diagnosis of the disease, bird species specificity is poorly understood.
