Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis |
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a rare immune system disorder that affects the lungs. If you have hypersensitivity pneumonitis, your body’s immune system reacts strongly to certain inhaled substances, causing short- or long-term inflammation especially in the interstitium or interstitial space of the lungs. |

COPD - Causes |
Long-term exposure to lung irritants—smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes, or dusts—that damage the lungs and the airways usually is the cause of COPD. A rare genetic condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency can also cause the disease. |
