ABSTRACT
Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is a rare but potentially lethal disorder. Long-term treatment with corticosteroids may improve the prognosis of this disease. Other immunosuppressive agents have been used in a small number of cases with encouraging results. We report a case of a twelve year old girl presenting a severe form of Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis treated long-term high-dose steroids. That leeds to significant side effects. Chloroquine used after inefficiency of Azathioprine induced a subsequent remission
