*Chronic bird fancier’s lung (BFL) can be subgrouped clinically into two types: one subgroup develops interstitial pulmonary fibrosis after recurrent acute episodes (recurrent BFL) and the other subgroup has no history of acute episodes but has a slowly progressive chronic respiratory disease (insidious BFL). | |||||||||
