Our study suggests that removal of identified antigen in interstitial lung diseases other than hypersensitivity pneumonitis may not be impactful. Additionally, it further suggests that definitive diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis with bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy may be beneficial prior to recommending antigen removal.
