Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is
characterized by hemoptysis resulting from recurring alveolar hemorrhage
attacks, iron deficiency anemia, and parenchymal infiltrations as seen on chest
radiographs. The clinical course may consist of silent and asymptomatic
attacks, or it may sometimes exhibit a fulminant course with rapidly developing
anemia and hypoxemia. Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy triggered by
the consumption of gluten-containing foods in genetically predisposed
individuals. Co-existence of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac
disease is defined as Lane-Hamilton syndrome. We describe a case of
Lane-Hamilton syndrome with growth and developmental delay; complete remission
of pulmonary symptoms was achieved with a gluten-free diet. 

Keywords
