This book serves as an introduction and a practical guide to Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis, presenting the definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, methods for diagnosing the condition, treatment options, and prognosis. A variety of disease-related substances are discussed along with the clinical subtypes that distinguish between acute and chronic, fibrotic and nonfibbrotic kinds are brought to light in the first part. The parts that follow discuss several test options and assessments for managing hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). A kind of interstitial lung disease (ILD) known as HP is brought on by repeated exposure to a causative antigen. Antigen identification is crucial in the diagnosis of HP because many of its clinical characteristics overlap with those of other types of ILD. Additionally, because the frequency of HP varies around the globe due to climatic and geographic variations, as well as regional customs and occupational activities, specialized chapters including summer-type HP, bird-related HP, and humidifier's lung are also covered.

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, a new volume in the book series Respiratory Disease Series: Diagnostic Tools and Disease Management, provides a useful reference manual for both beginner and experienced medical professionals, pulmonologists, radiologists, basic researchers, and pathologists assessing patients with interstitial lung disease. The most recent information on HP is provided, and readers will learn in-depth evidence, insights and problems currently being faced, which will set a foundation to future progress of clinical research on this disease as well as its diagnosis and treatment.
