In this review, we discuss a new definition and treatment options of allergic alveolitis (AA). AA is an immune-mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by inhaled antigens, it is defined as non-fibrotic (inflammatory) and/or fibrotic, and diagnosis relies on a multidisciplinary approach using clinical, radiological and sometimes histological assessments. Treatment involves early antigen elimination and may include corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants. Prognosis varies from reversible inflammation to irreversible fibrosis. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
