Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an exaggerated response to inhaled antigens causing persistent cough, dyspnea and a restrictive lung disease. Several causative agents have been identified including birds, molds, mycobacteria, and chemicals. Avian proteins are the most common cause of HP. We report a gentleman who raised birds and developed chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis with precipitins positive to Saccharomonospora viridis, a bacteria found in dried grass, to which he has occupational exposure.
