Central NII of Tuberculosis RAMN, Moscow.

In 510 patients with exogenous allergic alveolitis (EAA), including poulterers (n = 110), tobacco growers (n = 116), wood workers (n = 132), cotton workers (n = 102), methods for detecting the diseases, its clinical features, course, and treatment were studied. The paper gives a scheme of alveolitis development. The most effective detection methods were questionnaires and tests for specific serum antibodies. EAA runs more severely in poulterers and tobacco growers. Its management includes no contact with the allergen, as well as drugs and extracorporeal treatment. Fungal infection exerts a substantial effect on the course of the disease.
