Areas of decreased attenuation and mosaic perfusion are an important ancillary CT finding in hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and obstructive functional abnormalities indicate that this phenomenon is caused by bronchiolitis.

The prevalence of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes at CT was 53% (9 of 17) in extrinsic allergic alveolitis. In diseases other than sarcoid, however, usually one or two nodes are enlarged and their maximal short axis diameter is less than 15 mm.

Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1997, 155:587-596. TCR-Vβ gene usage has been analyzed both on lung and blood lymphocytes and demonstrated a bias in the expression of some Vβ region products in the lung of the patients as compared with the blood and lung of normal subjects.

Chest 1996, 110:371-377. Patients with chronic pigeon breeder's disease usually display small airways disease due to chronic inflammation and fibrosis, which is generally proportional in type and severity to the damage in parenchyma.

The polychotomous logistic regression model (computer program) developed in the study can be used to predict the most likely of the three common diagnoses within interstitial lung disease: sarcoidosis, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

The authors report an open-biopsied case of pigeon breeder's disease that was undiagnosed for 5 years because of false-negative precipitating antibodies to pigeon antigen, and they stress the importance of a reliable HP panel.

J Allergy Clin Immunol 1996, 98:441-450. Using Western and dot blots of the whole extract and extract components of Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula a, specific binding of patients' IgG2 to the antigens was examined, and the successful use of disease-associated IgG2 of patients with farmer's lung to isolate their corresponding antigens was demonstrated.

J Lab Clin Med 1996, 127:23-28. Avian antigen-bearing nitrocellulose particles derived from Western blots to study the T-cell proliferative response to 15 antigenic fractions obtained from pigeon serum were used. Proliferation was significantly higher in the pigeon breeder's lung group in response to a single 22-kD fraction.
