Treatment of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Corticosteroids or immunosuppressants People who have an acute episode of hypersensitivity pneumonitis usually recover if further contact with the substance is avoided. If the episode is severe, corticosteroids, such asprednisone, reduce symptoms and may help reduce severe inflammation. Prolonged or recurring episodes may lead to irreversible disease and progressive disability and require long-term immunosuppression.
