Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Contrast-enhanced thin-slice CT in a patient with chronic hypersensitivity
pneumonitis and dyspnea. Reticulation, traction bronchiectasis,
and honeycombing (red arrows) are visible, diffusely involving the
central as well as peripheral lung regions. Note that the upper
lobes (shown here) are extensively involved. This distribution (ie,
central as well as peripheral lung, upper lobes) is often seen with
chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis but would be unusual with IPF.
Note that the main pulmonary artery (PA) is dilated as a result
of associated pulmonary hypertension.
