The actinomycetes Micropolyspora faeni and Thermoactinomyces vulgaris are important sources of antigens in extrinsic allergic alveolitis, the deuteromycete Aspergillus fumigatus is it to a lesser extent. These microorganisms have been sought in hay samples obtained from farmers who on the one hand show farmer's lung symptoms and on the other antibodies to these microorganisms. A relatively good correlation has been found between the immunological and microbiological findings. The conditions necessary for the occurrence of antigen sources in farmer's lung disease are discussed, and the need for prophylactic measures is pointed out.
放线菌微小多孢菌和普通嗜热放线菌是外源性过敏性肺泡炎的重要抗原来源，在较小程度上，半知菌类烟曲霉也是抗原来源。在从农民那里获取的干草样本中寻找这些微生物，这些农民一方面表现出农民肺症状，另一方面对这些微生物有抗体。已发现免疫学和微生物学结果之间有较好的相关性。讨论了农民肺疾病中抗原来源出现所需的条件，并指出了采取预防措施的必要性。
