Antigen avoidance is effective for HP, but is typically insufficient in isolation in fibrotic HP.1

Lung transplantation should be recommended in patients with progressive, end-stage HP.5

Steroid-sparing immunosuppressants are the cornerstone of treatment because HP is inflammation driven.1 The effectiveness of available immunosuppressive regimens needs to be validated with prospective randomized trials.1
