ABSTRACT
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis [IPH] is a rare disorder that is usually characterized by the triad of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, hemoptysis and iron deficiency anemia.The disease is well known to affect the pediatric age group with conflicting treatment trials. We report a case of a 19 year- old girl with IPH and respiratory failure who had excellent initial response to systemic steroids. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case in this age group in the region
