Just to clarify: the classification into acute, subacute, and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is now considered obsolete.
The updated classification is based on the presence or absence of fibrosis:
➔ Nonfibrotic HP
➔ Fibrotic HP
These are the two main types.
Within each type, there are two subtypes:
✅ Typical HP pattern
✅ Compatible with HP pattern
In this case:
•❌ No evidence of fibrosis
•☁️ Presence of diffuse and patchy ground-glass opacities
→ Suggestive of a pattern compatible with HP.
If you are interested, I explained the updated approach in detail in my HP lecture on YouTube — you can watch it here:

@NoraNor11388362 @ghamdiah88 @Dr_AlghamdiA جميل في النهاية هذه قناعاتك ، اولا أنا طبيب ارجع الى العلم في المقام الأول ،والعلم توصل انه مرض وهذا شي لا نقاش فيه ولكن صدقي ما تريدين ، ثانيا أنا أتعامل مع من يعانون من السمنة بشكل يومي وهذه الكلمات لاتجدي وتجرح وهذا ��يس من تعاليمنا ولا اخلاقنا، دائما الكلمة الطبية هي الأفضل
@Muhannad_PT @NejoodAF I see what you mean, and I have experienced this confusion firsthand. My original tweet was meant to highlight that instead of focusing only on these titles to boost ourselves and put others down, we need to focus on educating each other.
@Muhannad_PT @NejoodAF Nice one. One is a physician, and one is not. There is a commonality between the two, but as I mentioned, you have your tasks and they have theirs. I guess the difference comes from the words 'therapy' and 'medicine
@Muhannad_PT @NejoodAF Huh? Please don't make me laugh. Not knowing about the medical board in physical therapy doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You have your tasks, and they have theirs. You can see the same thing in different medical specialties.
