title: Pet-fish food lung- a new form of extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
abstract: We report a female patient, who developed extrinsic allergic alveolitis due to pet-fish food inhalation. Some ingredients of pet-fish food are known triggers of type I allergy. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which pet-fish food is reported as causative agent inducing type III allergy.
