Abstract

We report a case of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) in a 8year old female who presented with anaemia, breathlessness, puffiness of face and grade 4 clubbing. She had been investigated a number of times at multiple hospitals and had received multiple blood transfusions considering iron deficiency anaemia. Diagnosis of IPH was suspected on basis of clinical history of persistent respiratory distress, hypoxemia, repeated anaemia episodes and diffuse bilateral infiltrates on chest X ray.
