Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is an inflammatory response in the lungs caused by inhaling organic particles, such as mold, bird droppings, or certain chemicals, often found in specific work environments, like farms or factories. When these particles are inhaled repeatedly, the immune system reacts, leading to symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Over time, continued exposure can cause permanent lung damage. Early recognition and avoiding triggers are crucial for managing the condition and protecting lung health in affected individuals.
