Methods & Materials
A 54-year-old female patient was presented to the chest disease department with complaints of cough,
weakness and expectoration for two-months.
The patient denied fever or hemoptysis.
The patient had occupational history as a farmworker and she had been diagnosed with subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) 6 years ago and treated with prednisolone (8 mg / day).
She had no history of smoking or malignancy.
Physical examination revealed oxygen saturation as 85% on room air,
bibasilar Velcro crackles and normal body temperature (36.8 oC).
Laboratory test results (including white blood cell count and c-reactive protein levels) were normal.
A chest x-ray was obtained and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was obtained.
