GONZALEZ-ZUNIGA, Ana María y GUTIERREZ-RIOS, Juana Alejandra. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis associated to birds care. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2015, vol.63, n.1, pp.133-137. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v63n1.43976.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis associated to birds care, is one of the most common types of pneumonitis. Although there is no clear epidemiological data of prevalence, many cases of pneumonitis arrive to hospitals. It is a very rare disorder, however, much of the population is exposed to birds and consequently to antigens that cause this disease. The early diagnosis can mean a reversible damage to the patient if stop exposure to the antigen, but otherwise if the diagnosis isn't made early, can generate an irreversible lung damage. In this paper, it is presented a case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in birds care.
