Abstract :
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically mediated
pulmonary disease caused by various organic particles and some
non-organic chemicals. HP is mostly associated with some
occupations such as farming and bird breeding. We report a case
of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a housewife without any prior
history of occupational exposures. The disease was developed due
to indirect exposure of the patient to doves antigens via a desert
cooler ducts.
