Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Bird Fancier's Lung:

1.	AntigensIBA 07/01/1995 - "The objective of this study is to clarify the sequelae of disease process in bird fancier's lung, with special reference to the humoral and cellular immune responses after avoidance of direct antigen exposure" 05/01/2000 - "Because pigeon-breeder's lung caused by free-roaming city pigeons has not been previously described, it remains unclear whether this family developed the disease because of high antigen exposure or because of increased susceptibility" 07/01/1995 - "CONCLUSION: This follow-up study demonstrates persistence of sensitized lymphocytes and antibody production in the respiratory tract and warrants careful evaluation of patients with bird fancier's lung, even after antigen avoidance." 11/01/1991 - "Twenty-one symptomatic subjects with pigeon breeders' lung (PBL) and 10 asymptomatic pigeon breeders, with a similar exposure to pigeon antigens, underwent bronchoalveolar lavage" 09/01/1991 - "Antigens identified by indirect immunofluorescence staining and specific for sera from patients with pigeon breeders' lung or healthy pigeon breeders, have been isolated from pigeon intestinal mucus" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Hydrocortisone (Cortisol)FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/1980 - "Four patients with pigeon breeder's lung and positive lymphocyte transformation tests to pigeon antigen were given 250 mg hydrocortisone intravenously, after which the test was repeated at 6, 24, and 30 hr.
