Bronchoalveolar lavage cell profiles and proteins concentrations can be used to phenotype extrinsic allergic alveolitis patients [PDF]
Background Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) patients form heterogenous group with different clinical manifestation and different prognosis. We aimed to determine how to phenotype distinct EAA subgroups.

Spotlight on the diagnosis of extrinsic allergic alveolitis (hypersensitivity pneumonitis) [PDF]
Repeated inhalative exposures to antigenic material from a variety of sources, mainly from moulds, thermophilic Actinomycetes, and avians, respectively, can induce immune responses with the clinical picture of extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) or ...

Extrinsic allergic alveolitis [PDF]
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.

NEW SCHEMES IN THE TREATMENT OF EXTRINSIC ALLERGIC ALVEOLITIS
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) also known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammatory process in the lungs resulting from sensitization caused by repeated exposure to organic dust or low molecular weight agents.

Concomitant diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and localized epithelioid mesothelioma: a rare case report [PDF]
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammatory lung disease caused by antigen inhalation after sensitization. Here, we report a rare case of the simultaneous diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and epithelioid mesothelioma, a subtype of malignant ...

: Assessment of humoral response to inhalation antigens is currently the most frequently used method to confirm exposure. It may be useful in extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) patients, especially in cases that are unaware of the source of exposure ...

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Despite Severe Fusarium solani Infection in a Lung Transplanted Patient—A Case Report [PDF]
Solid-organ transplant patients require prolonged immunosuppression, increasing their risk of hematologic disorders. For these conditions, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potential treatment, but it carries significant risk

Protein kinase D1 in myeloid lineage cells contributes to the accumulation of CXCR3+CCR6+ nonconventional Th1 cells in the lungs and potentiates hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by S. rectivirgula [PDF]
IntroductionHypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an extrinsic allergic alveolitis characterized by inflammation of the interstitium, bronchioles, and alveoli of the lung that leads to granuloma formation.
