  • Description: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis or humidifier fever attributable to air-conditioner contamination have now been linked to a group of amoebae that develop in the recirculating water used in humidification systems. The source of the antigens is believed to be a member of the micropolyspora genus, thermoactinomyces vulgaris, also known as a species of thermotolerant bacilli. Lines of precipitation have been recorded against T. Vulgaris with sera from affected individuals, and inhalation tests using T. Vulgaris have produced a pyrexial episode.
