Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage characterized by abnormal deposition of hemosiderin iron in the macrophages of alveoli. Most cases occur in children. In adults, IPH is rare: almost 10 cases reported during the late 10 years. We report the case of a 20-year-old-girl with IPH. There was no evidence of pulmonary vasculitis or capillaritis. Long-term treatment with systemic corticosteroids was followed by clinical remission lasting 4 years.
特发性肺含铁血黄素沉着症(IPH)是弥漫性肺泡出血的一种罕见病因,其特征为含铁血黄素铁在肺泡巨噬细胞中异常沉积。大多数病例发生在儿童。在成人中,IPH很罕见:近10年来报告了约10例。我们报告一例20岁患IPH的女孩。没有肺血管炎或毛细血管炎的证据。长期使用全身性皮质类固醇治疗后临床缓解持续了4年。
