Abstract
Although usually considered a feature in mushroom worker''s lung disease, hilar adenopathy was not found and only 8 of 26 patients exhibited positive radiographic findings. The etiology of the disease is allergic with a radiographic appearance of alveolitis which may present with consolidation or a reticular pattern. None of the 26 patients exhibited enlargement of the hilar lymph nodes. The acute phase subsides in 10 days to 6 wk after exposure has ceased.
