Abstract
|
|
|
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis(IPH) is a relatively rare disease of unknown etiology characterized pathologically by recurrences of intraalveolar pulmonary hemorrhage.
Clinical features include hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia and pulmonary parenchymal infiltrations on chest radiograph. Hemosiderin-laden macrophages are demonstrated by examination of sputum or lung biopsy specimens.
We diagnosed IPH by lung biopsy in 9 year-old girl who had had recurrent hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiograph and report this case with brief literature review.
