Abstract
Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis commonly occurs in Japan during the warm and humid season, when the causative Trichosporon asahii flourish. The assessment of anti-T. asahii antibodies in patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis without any obvious causative antigen may be useful even outside Japan.
