What Is Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
2. Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Allergies to particles that are inhaled are not that uncommon and, while the condition can be uncomfortable, it is usually short lived. Symptoms are caused by inflammation of the lung tissues, and this inflammation will pass in time. This is not always the case in people with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, however.
People with the condition will find that the inflammation of the lungs continues even after the allergen has been removed. This means that their symptoms will persist, and this can make life a lot harder for them. It can even turn into a serious long term condition for some people.
