| Abstract |
|
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is an uncommon disease of undetermined cause that is char-
acterized by periodic episodes of cough, hemoptysis, widespread pulmonary infiltrates and hypo-
chromic anemia.
Two cases of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis were diagnosed after open lung biopsy. It
revealed hemosiderin and hemosiderin-laden macrophage. There were no specific causes for pulmo-
nary hemorrhage. We report 2 cases of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis with brief review of some
related literatures. |
