Hypersensitivity pneumonia (HP) is a commonly considered diagnosis when evaluating acute and chronic interstitial pulmonary syndromes, but making a confident diagnosis is hindered by the lack of validated diagnostic criteria. The multidisciplinary clinical-radiologic-pathologic approach can aid clinicians in accurately diagnosing interstitial lung diseases. In the case of HP, conflicting information or uncertainty about the relevance of various findings within each of these categories is problematic. This session will highlight current evidence and deficits in knowledge within each of these categories, and review the pathologic basis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease.
