Abstract:
:A 47-year-old woman, without significant past medical history, presented an acute dyspnea with hypoxia, marked pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and signs of right heart failure. Chest x-ray showed a moderate dilatation of the right heart cavities. Pulmonary embolism was suggested. After detailed questioning and complete explorations, a bird hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) was demonstrated. This case illustrates a misleading presentation of an acute form of HP consisting of apparently isolated PAH.

杂志文章abstract::Nowadays the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is based on a "diagnostic strategy" rather than a single test. The first step, after identifying patients with suspicion of PE, is to establish the pre-test clinical probability.
