Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammatory lung disease caused by an exaggerated immune response to inhaled organic particles or chemicals in susceptible individuals. It has heterogeneous clinical manifestations ranging from acute to chronic forms. The chronic form presents with progressive dyspnea and often evolves to fibrosis. Pathologically, it is characterized by bronchiolocentric interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration and variable degrees of fibrosis. Diagnosis relies on weighing clinical, radiographic, and pathological evidence, though it can be challenging to distinguish from other interstitial lung diseases. Treatment involves antigen avoidance and corticosteroids are usually indicated based on expert opinion, though clinical trials are limited.
