RESUMO
La neumonitis por hipersensibilidad en relación a maderas se asocia principalmente a los hongos que las colonizan. Presentamos el caso de un varón afecto de neumonitis por hipersensibilidad en el que el agente implicado fue una madera de densidad media, producto industrial cuyo principal componente es la madera de pino. La identificación del agente causal se realizó por medio de una prueba de provocación bronquial específica(AU)
Pneumonitis due to hypersensitivity to wood fiber is mainly associated with the fungus that colonizes it. We present the case of a male affected with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in which the agent implicated was medium-density fiberboard, an engineered product whose main component is pine wood fiber. The causal agent was identified by means of a specific bronchial provocation test(AU)
