End Stage

Chronic interstitial lung disease is an uncommon clinical entity in childhood. The onset is frequently insidious with progressive tachypnea, dyspnea, cyanosis, clubbing, weight loss, and hypoxia. More than 100 different occupational and environmental agents have been identified as causes, although two thirds of cases are reported as idiopathic.1 Assessment can involve invasive procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage and open lung biopsy. Treatment of the idiopathic forms includes use of corticostenoids and cytotoxic agents, and response is variable with progression to pulmonary fibrosis being a common end stage. In contrast to this grim prognosis, the similar clinical pattern associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, also identified as "extrinsic allergic alveolitis," can be rapidly reversed if the offending antigen is identified and eliminated.

Sporadic Cases

Extrinsic allergic alveolitis is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of the lungs that results from hypersensitivity responses to inhaled environmental agents. Most varieties are occupational in origin, but sporadic cases arise in domestic settings or from recreational activities. Causal agents chiefly comprise allergenic microbial spores that contaminate stored vegetable produce (e.g. farmer’s lung caused by ...
