Özet
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disorder that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with hemoptysis, recurrent alveolar hemorrhage, dyspnea and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The frequent association of autoimmune disorders with IPH and a favorable response to steroids suggest the presence of an underlying immune disorder. Here we present a case of a patient with cough, fever, and cyanosis who was also diagnosed with IPH and concurrent selective immunoglobulin A deficiency. This presentation is a unique presentation because of the co-occurrence of these two disorders.
