Hypersensitivity pneumonitis occurs when water contaminated with fungi in air conditioning facilities or humidifiers is dispersed into the air and inhaled. In addition to fungi, bacteria and protozoa are also thought to be the causative organisms. It is also called air conditioner lung. It was first reported in 1970 by E. F. Banaszack et al. in the United States, and attracted attention as a new type of non-occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis occurring in everyday environments. In Japan, the importance of this disease is being emphasized recently with the spread of home humidifiers and central heating. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
真菌類によって汚染された空調施設や加湿器内の水が空気中にばらまかれ,それらを吸入することにより発症する過敏性肺臓炎。原因菌には,真菌のほかに細菌や原虫類も考えられている。空調肺air conditioner lungともいう。1970年アメリカのバナザックE.F.Banaszackらにより初めて報告され,日常環境下でおこる新しい型の非職業性過敏性肺臓炎として注目された。日本でも最近,家庭用加湿器,セントラルヒーティングの普及とともに本症の重要性が強調されつつある。
