ABSTRACT
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is characterized by cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, and microcytic and hypochromic anemia. The cause of this illness is unknown. We experienced a case of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis in a 2 year and 8 month-old boy. Hemosiderin-laden macrophages are demonstrated in smears of material obtained from tracheal aspirates. There were no specific causes for pulmonary hemorrhage. We report a case of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis with brief review of related literatures.
