Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a child.
Acta Paediatrica Japonica; Overseas Edition 1991 August
Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a unique disease in Japan. The clinical features of this disease are as follows: 1) cough, fever and dyspnea as a clinical triad, 2) diffuse reticulonodular opacities on the chest X-ray film, 3) restrictive impairment and decrease in DLco, 4) hypoxia, 5) initiation in summer, 6) worsening of the condition when the patient returns home, 7) granuloma formation and alveolitis in the lung biopsy specimen, 8) familial clustering. The etiologic agent of this disease is debatable. In 1984 Ando et al reported that the etiologic agent was T. cutaneum. Now many people are pursuing the argument to its logical conclusion. We report a case of summer-type HP. It is uncommon in children, especially in a child in whose serum antibody to T. cutaneum can be demonstrated.
