Respiratory Distress and Severe Anemia in a Child With Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is an infrequent cause of pulmonary hemorrhage in children. It is classically defined by the triad of recurrent hemoptysis, iron-deficiency anemia, and diffuse parenchymal infiltration without an obvious cause.
