Abstract

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is the most common interstitial lung disease in children, but remains rarely recognized in the pediatric population. Early recognition of triggering factors and a high index of suspicion of HP could lead to timely diagnosis and individualized treatment. This study aimed to present four clinical cases of HP reported between 2012 and 2022 in Lithuania to improve the suspicion of the disease in children.
