  • Title: Place of bronchoscopy in the diagnostics and follow-up of patients with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis.
    Author: Karavelikova IP.
    Journal: Folia Med (Plovdiv); 2021 Aug 31; 63(4):582-585. PubMed ID: 35851160.
    Abstract:
    The idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare, life-threatening condition observed mainly in children and characterized by recurrent episodes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhages. The disease is characterized by the triad of hemoptysis, alveolar infiltrates in chest radiography, and iron-deficiency anemia. The recurrent episodes of alveolar hemorrhage can lead to chronic iron-deficiency anemia and irreversible pulmonary fibrosis; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to the outcome of the disease.The idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare, life-threatening condition observed mainly in children and characterized by recurrent episodes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhages.
