Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is an unusual cause of pediatric iron deficiency anemia (IDA) characterized by alveolar hemorrhage leading to hemosiderin deposition and fibrosis in the lungs. Though the typical triad of presentation is hemoptysis, IDA, and lung opacities on thoracic radiographs, often the sole manifestation of IPH may be severe IDA in children.
特发性肺含铁血黄素沉着症(IPH)是小儿缺铁性贫血(IDA)的一种罕见病因,其特征是肺泡出血导致含铁血黄素在肺部沉积和纤维化。尽管典型的三联征表现为咯血、IDA以及胸部X线片上的肺部阴影,但IPH在儿童中的唯一表现往往可能是严重的IDA。
