Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome

Organic dust toxic syndrome (ODTS) was manifestation of some acute symptoms, (same with acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis or extrinsic allergic alveolitis) with initially by flu like syndrome that were fever, malaise, myalgia, dry cough, dyspnea, and headache after exposure of organic dust in several hours. Etiology of ODTS usually from agricultural environment like hay, grain, straw, moldy, pollen, mycotoxins, bacteria and endotoxin. Organic dust toxic syndrome (ODTS) spontaneous recovery without sequele if patients avoid organic dust exposure immediately and avoid recurrent exposure. The best treatment were supportive therapy and preventive therapy from that etiology.Key words: ODTS, pneumonitis hipersensitif

End Stage

Chronic interstitial lung disease is an uncommon clinical entity in childhood. The onset is frequently insidious with progressive tachypnea, dyspnea, cyanosis, clubbing, weight loss, and hypoxia. More than 100 different occupational and environmental agents have been identified as causes, although two thirds of cases are reported as idiopathic.1 Assessment can involve invasive procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage and open lung biopsy. Treatment of the idiopathic forms includes use of corticostenoids and cytotoxic agents, and response is variable with progression to pulmonary fibrosis being a common end stage. In contrast to this grim prognosis, the similar clinical pattern associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, also identified as "extrinsic allergic alveolitis," can be rapidly reversed if the offending antigen is identified and eliminated.

AbstractHypersensitivity pneumonitis is a group of inflammatory interstitial lung diseases caused by hypersensitivity immune reactions to the inhalation of various antigens: fungal, bacterial, animal protein, or chemical sources, finely dispersed, with aerodynamic diameter <5μ, representing the respirable fraction. The national register for interstitial lung diseases records very few cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsec allergic alveolitis), a well defined occupational disease. Although not an eminently of occupational origin, the extrinsec allergic alveolitis can occur secondary to occupational exposure to organic substances (animal or insect proteins, bacteria, fungi) or inorganic (low molecular weight chemical compounds) and the occupational doctor is a key actor in the diagnosys. The disease has chronic evolution and exposure avoidance, as early as possible, has major prognostic influence. The occupational anamnesis remains the most important step and the occupational physician is the one in charge for monitoring and detection of the presence of respiratory symptoms in all employees with risk exposure. Next, we present the case of a farmer, without other comorbidities, who develops various respiratory and systemic diseases and manifestations due to repeated exposure to animal proteins and molds, in order to review the risk factors and the consequences of exposure in poultry farms.
