Abstract
Bird Fancier's disease is an allergic alveolitis that is rare in children. We describe the relevance of adequate history for making the diagnosis in children and the difficulty distinguishing this entity on chest radiographs and CT from imaging patterns caused by infections such as tuberculosis and HIV in developing countries.
