Two hundred pigeon breeders from the county of Funen were invited to participate in the study. No definite cases of allergic alveolitis were found among the 68 participants. 40% had experienced airway and/or general symptoms in connection with pigeon exposure. However, most of these symptoms could be explained as irritation of the airway and chronic bronchitis. Precipitating antibodies to pigeon serum and to an aqueous pigeon bloom extract were determined. The antibody titers did not differ in pigeon breeders with or without symptoms. Smokers had lower antibody titers to pigeon antigens and a lower level of total serum IgG, but reported symptoms in connection with pigeon exposure as often as non smokers.
来自菲英岛县的200名鸽子饲养者受邀参与该研究。在68名参与者中未发现确诊的过敏性肺泡炎病例。40%的人在接触鸽子后出现过呼吸道和/或全身症状。然而，这些症状大多可解释为气道刺激和慢性支气管炎。检测了针对鸽血清和鸽羽水提取物的沉淀抗体。有症状和无症状的鸽子饲养者的抗体滴度没有差异。吸烟者对鸽抗原的抗体滴度较低，血清总IgG水平也较低，但他们报告与接触鸽子相关症状的频率与非吸烟者相同。
