Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is rare inetersticial lung disease, the incidence is 6.3 children on million of childhood patients in Slovak Republic. It is chronic disease with period of relapse and remission. The ethiology is not clear, probably the immune system is dysfunctional, indicating the autoimmune origin of the disease. Diagnosis is based on combination of reccurent hemoptysis , anemia in laboratory samples, pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray. Due to late diagnosis and progression, the prognosis is not favorable. Since the establishment of our hospital, there have been two cases of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. The first one in 2004, in treatment was used human recombinant erytropoetin. The second one ocuured 13 years later – in 2017. In the next article approach the authors the two case studies. Has ist changed something in the view of hemosiderosis over the past period?
