- Fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) is an allergic condition resulting from repeated inhalation of specific antigens, often related to occupational exposure, requiring thorough assessment and allergen avoidance for management.

- Investigations revealed lung damage characterized by interstitial pneumonia and fibrosis, suggesting that the spices used in her workplace may have triggered her condition.
