Overview

Classification

  • The clinical presentations of HP depend on:
    • Frequency
    • Length
    • Exposure
    • Duration of illness
  • Due to a lot of variation in the the presentation HP has been classified according to various schemes.
  • Hyperssensitivity pnoeumonitis may be classified into several subtypes based on:
    • Classical classification:
      • Acute
      • Subacute
      • Chronic
    • Boyd classification:[1]
      • Acute progressive
        • Severe symptoms occur after exposure to antigen.
        • Recurrent exposure leads to symptom progression.
        • Clinically patients are pyrexial with bilateral crackles on chest auscultation.
        • Patients may require hospitalization due to respiratory compromise.
      • Acute intermittent nonprogressive
        • Similar to acute progressive disease but less intense.
        • Patients feel well in between episodes.
        • Subsequent exposure leads to less severe symptoms.
        • Patients are clinically stable in the long run.
        • Pulmonary inflammatory response deteriorates with recurrent exposure to the antigen.[2]
      • Chronic progressive disease
        • Occurs after recurrent acute episodes or insidiously.[3]
        • Patients are diagnosed in the late stages.
        • Only clue for diagnosis is antigen exposure.
        • Patients often present with permanent disability in the form of pulmonary fibrosis or respiratory failure.
        • Disease is not reversed even after antigen exposure is avoided. [4]
      • Subclinical disease
        • Patients are immunological sensitized but are asymptomatic.
        • Patients with recurrent exposure to antigens may convert to chronic form.
    • Cormier classification:
      • Active
      • Residual
    • Selman classification:
      • Active nonprogressive and intermittent
      • Acute progressive and intermittent
      • Chronic
        • Nonprogressive
        • Progressive
