Due to a variable radiographic presentation, it may not be meaningful to give a differential diagnosis for hypersensitivity pneumonitis per se. Truly idiopathic AIP tends to occur in those without pre-existing lung disease and typically affects middle-aged adults (mean ~ 50 years 5). It is considered an immunopathological disorder occurring in susceptible individuals, where both humoral and cellular mechanisms are thought to participate in the development of lung lesions.

Depending on the type of precipitant, numerous other more precipitant-specific terms have been used such as: The histopathologic process consists of chronic inflammation of the bronchi and peribronchiolar tissue, often with poorly defined granulomas and giant cells in the interstitium or alveoli. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), or extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is an inflammatory syndrome of the lung caused by repetitive inhalation of antigenic agents in a susceptible host. 8. sirolimus/everolimus, cellular bronchiolitis: chronic inflammatory cells lining the small airways, sometimes with resultant epithelial ulceration, diffuse chronic interstitial inflammatory infiltrates: primarily consisting of lymphocytes and plasma cells but often including eosinophils, neutrophils, and mast cells, poorly circumscribed interstitial non-necrotizing (non-caseating) granulomas: consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and epithelioid histiocytes, with or without giant cells, individual giant cells in the alveoli or interstitium, numerous poorly defined small (<5 mm) opacities throughout both lungs, sometimes with sparing of the apices and bases, a pattern of fine reticulation may also occur, zonal distribution is variable from patient to patient and may even show temporal variation within the same patient, when fibrosis develops: there may be a reticular pattern and honeycombing, which sometimes are more severe in the upper lobes than in the lower ones, volume loss may occur: particularly in the upper lungs, and peribronchial thickening may be visible, ground-glass opacity usually represents chronic interstitial inflammation but occasionally may be caused by fine fibrosis or organizing pneumonia, hypoattenuation and hypovascularity of scattered secondary lobules: hypoattenuating regions that persist on expiratory CT scans are indicative of air trapping, which is caused by bronchiolar inflammation and obstruction: this may give a, occasional pulmonary arterial enlargement, with developing fibrosis, there can be reticulation, mainly in the middle portion of the lungs or fairly evenly throughout the lungs but with relative sparing of the extreme apices and bases.
