Abstract
Humidifier lung syndrome is a rare phenotype of hypersensitive pneumonitis (HP) caused by inhalation of fumes from contaminated climate appliances such as a humidifier and air conditioner. Since the described syndrome is rarely found in the Russian Federation, the practitioner should be wary of this pathology, carefully collect an anamnesis from the patient, and also carry out differential diagnostics with lung lesions of autoimmune, drug, infectious genesis. HP therapy includes exclusion of contact with the etiological factor and the appointment of systemic hormonal therapy.
