Case Studies

Feather wreath lung: chasing a dead bird

FJ Meyer, PC Bauer, and U Costabel

We report the case of a 50 year old clerk with chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis due to a wreath of feathers from his dead budgerigar hanging in his living-room. Diagnosis was confirmed by serum precipitins, bronchoalveolar lavage and open lung biopsy. It is important to recognize unusual sources of exposure in this disease.
