  Clinically, extrinsic allergic alveolitis is characterized by intermittent episodes of chills, fever, cough, and shortness of breath occurring 4 to 8 hours after inhalation of the specific sensitizing agent. [allallergy.net]

  Fever, chills, dyspnea, leukocytosis may occur 4-6 hours after exposure and eventually resolve; symptoms and signs may recur on re-exposure. CXR: Acute - normal to reticulonodular pattern; Chronic - progressive fibrosis, honeycombing. [lumen.luc.edu]

• Asymptomatic

  This antigen fraction reacted with the sera of all 15 farmer's lung patients and 20 asymptomatic farmers with circulating anti-M. faeni antibodies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  However, a positive test does not always indicate active disease since asymptomatic individuals may develop precipitins without any features of hypersensitivity. [labguide.fairview.org]
