Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

|
Increased risk
- Most individuals who have hypersensitivity pneumonitis are exposed to allergens (usually organic dusts) in daily work or personal life. The risk is greater when individuals are exposed frequently to high concentrations of the substances.
- However, it is estimated that only about 5-20% of individuals exposed to the known allergens develop the disease.
