The authors present the case of a child diagnosed as having idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis at five years of age who had a good clinical outcome at the age of ten years. Initially the patient was treated with prednisone and chloroquine with poor results. When cyclophosphamide was added to prednisone, the patient demonstrated clinical and radiological remission. To date, the patient has been followed for one year without any medication, and has had only one limited episode of hemosiderosis. The authors also suggest that the therapeutic regimen with cyclophosphamide and prednisone may be useful for some selected cases. |
