Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an allergic lung disease caused by repeated inhalation of causative antigens. A wide variety of organic and inorganic dusts can serve as causative antigens. Fungi are among the most common causative antigens of HP, and multiple fungal species, including Aspergillus and Penicillium, have been implicated.
The aim of this study is to identify the fungi responsible for HP in the northern Nagano region. We will enroll patients with occupational- and residential-related HP in whom environmental fungi are suspected to be the causative antigens. Fungi will be isolated and identified from workplace and residential exposure environments, and the presence of serum-specific antibodies against the identified fungi will be evaluated.
Others
Patients diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis at Hokushin General Hospital between March 1,2026 and March 31, 2029, who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria listed below, will be enrolled in this study. Causative fungi will be isolated and identified from the patients living environments. The presence of serum-specific antibodies against the identified fungi will be evaluated using the Ouchterlony method.

In patients with occupational- and residential-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis in whom environmental fungi are suspected to be the causative antigens, fungi will be isolated and identified from workplace and residential exposure environments, and the presence of serum-specific antibodies against the identified fungi will be evaluated.

Diagnosis
| Maneuver |
During routine blood sampling (venous blood collection), 10 mL of blood for serum biochemical analysis (one 10-mL collection tube) will be obtained. The presence of specific antibodies in patient serum against fungi isolated from the environment will be determined by the presence or absence of precipitation lines using the Ouchterlony method.
