Abstract
We describe a rare case of a 20-year-old Japanese man with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) recurrence in adults with childhood onset (racIPH). IPH commonly occurs in children, and data regarding racIPH are lacking. A review of the literature showed that only five cases of racIPH have been reported (including the present case) and that racIPH shows features that are intermediate between childhood- and adult-onset IPH with respect to age and a lower frequency of smoking history. We also found that the degree of anemia was usually not severe, and a favorable response to corticosteroid therapy is expected in racIPH.
