Definition

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a respiratory disease due to repeated episodes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage without any underlying apparent cause, most often in children. Anemia, cough, and pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiographs are found in majority of the patients. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

Anatomical Abnormality
An abnormality of the respiratory system, which include the airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles.
Decreased circulating IgA level
MedGen UID:
57934
