I was exposed to several toxigenic structural molds about 3 years ago. i was recently exposed again in my workplace to aspergillius and cladosporium. A PFT shows partially reversible small airway obstruction according to my doctor. I received some lab work yesterday that indicates a positive IgG score for Micropolyspora faeni. Everything i read about this says "farmer's lung" or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
my question is...does a positive result on this protein neccessarily mean thati have HP? do people test positive without developing lung disease? Do the symptoms I am having now relate to HP? Is it reversible? How should I proceed with a pulomologist?...what tests should i ask for?
