Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH) was first described by Virchow in 1865 as 'brown lung induration'. In 1931 Ceelen reported the necropsy findings in 2 children. The clinical picture in association with radiological and pathological findings was reported by Waldenstrom (1944), and Wyllie et al. (1948) reviewed 24 cases in children. Nearly 200 have since been reported. In the past 5 years, 26 patients with IPH were admitted to the Paediatric Clinic of Athens Univer-sity, and form the subject of this review.
