Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and arthritis (case report)

Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare condition of unknown etiology. Four cases oflPH associat¬ed with arthritis were reported before. In this paper, we report another patient with IPH and arthritis. The clinical picture of the present case, with asymmetrical, transient, migratory and nondestructive arthritis, dif¬fers from the previously reported patients who all had rheumatoid-like arthritis.
