Subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Discussion:

This case demonstrates the radiological features of subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

On further questioning the patient had a long history of exposure to pet birds.

The patient was treated with oral steroids over a period of months with symptomatic improvement.

Respiratory bronchiolitis can have a similar appearance, but the ground glass nodules tend be more sparse/patchy in distribution, and is found in smokers.
