Abstract
Often seen in childhood, idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of alveolar haemorrhage with unknown etiology. It is characterised by recurrent hemoptysis, iron deficiency anaemia, and diffuse parenchymal infiltration in chest radiography (1). The incidence rate of IPH in children is between 0,24 and 1,26 in a million and this explains the very few number of reported cases in the literature (2).
