| Research Abstract |
Home-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HRHP) is an interstitial pneumonia mainly caused by fungi in the environment, including home and working place. In the present study, we have evaluated fungus DNA of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and titer of antibodies of fungi. Trichosporon asahii or T. mucoides have been thought to be most frequent antigens of HP, however various fungi were causative in HRHP. We have shown that analyses of fungus DNA in BALF and measurement of fungus antibodies are useful in diagnosis of HRHP. These results should be helpful to perform antigen avoidance and leading to improve prognosis of the disease.
