Esparto grass (Stipa tenacissima), which is commonly found in the Mediterranean countries, has a wide variety of uses. Five stucco makers who had cough, dyspnea, malaise, and fever after exposure to esparto fiber used in their jobs showed a significant decrease in symptoms when they were away from
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis or extrinsic allergic alveolitis may be defined as an immunological pulmonary disease caused by a variety of antigens reaching the lungs through inhaled organic and inorganic dusts derived from different sources, although they are usually occupational. Farmer's lung and
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) are clinical entities of growing importance. The discovered etiological agents which can induce them, organic and inorganic substances of low molecular weight which are frequently found in the laboral environment, are every day more numerous. In the group of
OBJECTIVE
Espartosis is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis which frequently affects construction workers handling esparto fibres used as support material inside gypsum plaster. Exactly which agents produce this disease remains under discussion. The aims of this study were: a) to assess the
Esparto is a gramineous plant that has multiple applications in today's industry. Several cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) caused by esparto inhalation have been reported, but only one case of asthma caused by Aspergillus fumigatus contaminating esparto has been communicated. We report a

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis or extrinsic allergic alveolitis can be defined as a lung disease caused by a wide group of antigens that reach the lung by inhalation of organic and/or inorganic dust of various sources. The esparto (Stipa Tenacissima and Ligeum Spartum) is an herbaceous of the grass
We here describe the case of a patient with a history of exposure to esparto grass for two and a half years, who presented with clinical symptoms, radiological signs, pulmonary function test and histological findings consistent with the diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Signs and symptoms
BACKGROUND
Esparto is one the most frequent causes of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in Spain.
OBJECTIVE
Determination of risk factors in the working environment that could explain the sensitisation process, and assessment of the differences in specific IgG levels to Aspergillus fumigatus,
We report a case of a 25-year-old, white, male plaster worker who started developing fever, severe dyspnea and cough during the manipulation of esparto fibers. The functional lung study showed restrictive lung disease and decreased single-breath carbon monoxide transfer lung capacity.
The clinical characteristics of three plasterers in contact with esparto and who presented a picture of extrinsic allergic alveolitis which was peculiar because of their being hyperacute and causing hypoxemia. In addition to a review of 5 previously published sporadic cases the clinical picture of
