Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (SHP) is the most common form of pneumonitis in Japan; it accounts for 74% of all cases. It has been reported that 19.5-23.8% of SHP cases occur in families who live in the same house. We present our SHP cases and review 50 familial cases in 23 families that were reported in Japan (including our own) and 48 cases that were previously described in 22 articles published between January 1982 and October 2011. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first review article in English to document the familial occurrence of SHP in Japan.
夏季型过敏性肺炎（SHP）是日本最常见的肺炎类型；占所有病例的74%。据报道，19.5%-23.8%的SHP病例发生在居住在同一房屋的家庭中。我们展示了我们的SHP病例，并回顾了日本报道的（包括我们自己的）23个家庭中的50例家族性病例以及1982年1月至2011年10月期间发表的22篇文章中先前描述的48例病例。据作者所知，这是第一篇用英文记录日本SHP家族性发病情况的综述文章。
