About this diagram

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a type of lung inflammation that occurs as a result of an allergic reaction to inhaled substances. It is also known as “extrinsic allergic alveolitis” and is characterized by inflammation of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. The most common cause of hypersensitivity pneumonitis is the inhalation of dust, mold, or other particles that contain allergens. In some cases, it may also be triggered by the inhalation of certain chemicals or fumes. Symptoms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis may include cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and fever. In severe cases, it can lead to scarring of the lung tissue, which can result in reduced lung function.
