We report two family members, a 64-year-old woman (patient 1) and her 37-year-old son (patient 2) diagnosed with summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (SHP). Both patients had high serum titers of anti-Trichosporon asahii antibody. The patients lived in the same house and worked in the same barbershop. Patient 1 was diagnosed with SHP in the summer, and she reacted positively to the provocation test at the work place, but not in the house. Patient 2 was diagnosed with SHP in the winter. Generally, SHP develops and is diagnosed in the summer. The home environment is responsible for most cases of familial SHP. Therefore, our cases of familial SHP are unusual and may suggest that the clinical characteristics of SHP have changed, due to alterations in social and environmental conditions.
