The family physician should understand the features of hypersensitivity pneumonitis which is a potentially serious, even fatal disorder. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any patient with breathlessness, particularly if there is a history of a recurrent influenza-like illness or pneumonia. Prompt recognition and avoidance of contact with the offending antigen will avoid permanent disability. In Australia the avian antigens and exposure to dry rot are the most frequent documented causes.
家庭医生应了解超敏性肺炎的特征，这是一种潜在的严重甚至致命的疾病。对于任何出现呼吸急促的患者，尤其是有反复流感样疾病或肺炎病史的患者，在鉴别诊断时都应考虑该病。及时识别并避免接触致病抗原可避免永久性残疾。在澳大利亚，禽类抗原和接触干腐菌是最常见的有记录的病因。
