Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a diverse range of scarring disorders that lead to progressive lung failure. Previous gene expression profiling studies focused on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and bulk tissue samples. We employed digital spatial profiling to gain new insights into the spatial resolution of gene expression across distinct lung microenvironments (LMEs) in IPF, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP).

This article is an abridged version of the updated AWMF mould guideline "Medical clinical diagnostics in case of indoor mould exposure - Update 2023", presented in July 2023 by the German Society of Hygiene, Environmental Medicine and Preventive Medicine (Gesellschaft für Hygiene, Umweltmedizin und Präventivmedizin, GHUP), in collaboration with German and Austrian scientific medical societies, and experts. Indoor mould growth is a potential health risk, even if a quantitative and/or causal relationship between the occurrence of individual mould species and health problems has yet to be established. There is no evidence for a causal relationship between moisture/mould damage and human diseases, mainly because of the ubiquitous presence of fungi and hitherto inadequate diagnostic methods.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated inflammatory interstitial lung disease that may evolve to pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive disorder with a poor prognosis characterized by fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix accumulation. In HP lung fibroblasts, the gene expression of proteins involved in the interaction with the immune response, their isoforms, and how they influence their phenotype have yet to be elucidated. We analyzed the expression and splicing variants of 16 target genes involved in the interaction between HP fibroblasts and immune signaling and evaluated possible correlations with clinical data.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated interstitial lung disease (ILD) in sensitized individuals caused by a large variety of inhaled antigens. The clinical form of acute HP is often misdiagnosed, while the chronic form, especially the chronic fibrotic HP, is difficult to differentiate from other fibrotic ILDs. The present guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of HP replaces the former German recommendations for the diagnosis of HP from 2007 and is amended explicitly by the issue of the chronic fibrotic form, as well as by treatment recommendations for the first time.

Background: Antigen removal is a cornerstone of treatment of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), but its association with transplant-free survival remains unclear. Further, HP guidelines conflict as to whether antigen removal is a recommended diagnostic test in patients with suspected HP.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to (1) evaluate the impact of antigen removal on transplant-free survival and (2) to describe the impact of antigen removal on pulmonary function testing and imaging in a retrospective cohort of patients with HP.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped mesophilic bacterium was isolated from birch wood, referred to as the AB strain. Allergological tests suggest that this strain may cause allergic alveolitis in sawmill workers. Employing a polyphasic taxonomic approach, the AB strain's 16S rRNA gene sequence showed high similarity to Microbacterium barkeri and M.

Background: According to international diagnostic guidelines for hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), cases with both nonfibrotic and fibrotic lesions are classified by the predominant feature. Therefore, some cases with nonfibrotic HP, have inflammatory lesions alone, while others have a mixture of fibrosis and inflammation. We investigated the impact of slight fibrotic lesions in nonfibrotic HP.
