Hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosis

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosis based on incorporation of imaging, exposure assessment, BAL lymphocytosis, and histopathological findings. All confidence levels are subject to multidisciplinary discussion.

BAL: bronchoalveolar lavage; HP: hypersensitivity pneumonitis; HRCT: high resolution computed tomography.

* Confidence may increase to "definite" if the pathologist's conclusion persists after reevaluation in the context of additional clinical information or an expert second opinion on histopathology.
