[Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis].

IDIOPATHIC pulmonary hemosiderosis is an uncommon disease and is the result of recurrent hemorrhages into the lungs. The cause of these hemorrhages is uncertain. The diagnosis is often made only at autopsy. Most cases occur in children. The occurrence of this condition in adult life is rare. The first case described was by Borsos-Nachtnebel1 (1942), although Steiner2 (1954) casts doubt on its authenticity. Kerley3 (1951) gives a brief description of 5 adult cases. Seventeen other cases in which symptoms appeared in patients over the age of eighteen have been found in the literature.4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 The only patients over the age of . . .
