Demonstrating antigen exposure is critical in the diagnosis and management of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.• An immunochromatographic test compared with an ELISA method for measurement pigeon antigens environment.• The described was highly consistent validated does not require specific skills.• This may prove to be a useful tool predicting progression birdrelated pneumonitis.
