Abstract
A hypersensitivity pneumonitis-like reaction to mycobacteria can occur from exposures other than hot tubs. There are key differences between classic hypersensitivity pneumonitis and MAC-associated hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Antimycobacterial therapy may be required. The possibility of MAC hypersensitivity pneumonitis from showering raises potential implications in the investigation of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
