Abstract

The clinical findings of FDL are typical of extrinsic allergic alveolitis. Primary sensitization could be due to former exposure to bird antigens at home or goose/duck feather exposure in youth. In view of the increasing popularity of feather duvets, FDL should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
