However, destruction of bronchial walls by necrotizing granulomas, especially when containing prominent eosinophils, should raise the suspicion of this condition and prompt further clinical studies and special stains to rule out organisms. HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), represents an allergic response of the small airways and lung parenchyma to various inhaled organic antigens. The most well-known examples are farmer’s lung, caused by sensitivity to thermophilic actinomycetes, and pigeon breeder or “bird fancier” lung, caused by inhalation of avian antigens.

Notice thickening of alveolar walls by interstitial collagen deposition. 17 Bronchiolar metaplasia (“lambertosis”) in chronic lung injury characterized by replacement of the alveolar lining by columnar, ciliated bronchiolar epithelium. INFLAMMATORY LUNG CONDITIONS 33 canals of Lambert that normally connect the bronchioles with the alveoli, hence the alternate designation of “lambertosis” for this phenomenon.
