Abstract
Idiopathic hemosiderosis of lung tissue is a rare disease with lung damage caused by massive hemorrhage into the lung tissue, with iron-containing hemosiderin deposition. Mainly it occurs in childhood. The article describes the clinical case of idiopathic hemosiderosis of lung tissue in a 3 years 11 months old child. The girl was observed for anemia of unclear etiology, she was repeatedly treated at a hospital and received erythrocyte transfusions. In the future, respiratory syndrome joined the anemic syndrome. It should be noted that a correctly collected anamnesis, timely diagnosis of the disease and the appointment of immunosuppressive therapy make it possible to prevent the rapid progression of the process and the development of complications, including pneumosclerosis.
