Abstract
Following a brief presentation of important clinical concepts regarding pulmonary hemorrhage in infants and children, recent reports on secondary and immune-related disorders causing acute pulmonary hemorrhage are reviewed. Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is updated noting the compilation of Japanese cases and current treatments. The recent increase in idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis in young infants, particularly in Cleveland, is discussed along with management suggestions and an apparent relationship to some sudden infant death syndrome cases.Keywords
