  • Title: [Idiopathic adult pulmonary hemosiderosis: a new etiopathogenetic hypothesis].
    Author: Tarocco RP, Faro G, Sargiotto A.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1983 Dec 15; 74(47-48):2835-9. PubMed ID: 6657124.
    Abstract:
    IPH is an uncommon disease affecting mainly children and adults and has usually a poor prognosis. The basic pathogenesis of the disorder is unknown; many theories have been advanced, but none is proved. A case of IPH in a 35 years old male presenting the atypical feature of a myeloperoxidase deficiency is reported. This unusual feature may be compatible with a generalized redox systems deficiency, which leads, via an impaired flow of iron into alveolar macrophages, to the pulmonary fibrosis.
