This is a report on a case of exogenous allergic alveolitis or malt workers' lung where no irreversible damage to the lung occurred despite a course of 22 years. The diagnosis was arrived at by means of a re-exposure test at the place of work followed by bronchoalveolar lavage. Reasons are being sought for the failure of all other diagnostic methods to diagnose exogenous allergic alveolitis. The disease is distinguished from the "organic dust toxic syndrome" by differential diagnosis.
这是一篇关于外源性过敏性肺泡炎（又称麦芽工人肺）病例的报告，尽管病程长达22年，但肺部未出现不可逆损伤。诊断是通过在工作场所进行再暴露试验，随后进行支气管肺泡灌洗得出的。目前正在探寻所有其他诊断方法未能诊断出外源性过敏性肺泡炎的原因。通过鉴别诊断将该疾病与“有机粉尘中毒综合征”区分开来。
