Abstract
Farmer's lung is an important form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It is believed to represent a delayed type allergic reaction to microorg anisms found in moldy hay dust. The disease is prevalent in farmers fr om countries where, because of high humidity in the summer, molding of stored hay is unavoidable. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
