The patient's history of repeated episodes of typical symptoms, hours after exposure to certain environments are important in establishing the diagnosis. According to the time of onset, it may be classically divided into three broad categories 5: Another more recently proposed system based on pathology is as: While the exact radiographic pattern depends on subtype (acute/inflammatory, vs chronic/fibrotic), this article will focus on its general features.

More than 200 agents responsible for the disease have already been identified; however, HP occurs only in a small number of individuals exposed to causal antigens. Allergens are substances that cause an allergic reaction in the body. Its diagnosis relies on a constellation of findings: exposure to an offending antigen, characteristic signs and symptoms, abnormal chest findings on physical examination, and abnormalities on pulmonary function tests and radiographic evaluation. 49 (2): 112-6. Most cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, whether acute or insidious, include the following four histologic features in variable amounts and combinations 3.
