La hemosiderosis pulmonar idiopática (HPI) es una enfermedad de etiología y patogenia desconocidas, caracterizada por episodios de hemorragias pulmonares de repetición, anemia ferropénica e insuficiencia respiratoria.

Presentamos dos casos de HPI en adultos, hombre y mujer, el primero vivo en la actualidad y la segunda que falleció tras seis años de seguimiento.

Se analizan el curso y características clínicas de la enfermedad, así como las diferentes técnicas etiopatogénicas y situación actual del tratamiento médico de esta enfermedad.

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, and is characterized by recurrent pulmonary bleeding, iron defidency anaemia and respiratory failure.

We report on two adult patients, one male and one female. The former is still alive while the latter died after six years follow up. The outcome and clinical features of the disease, its etiopathogenic implications and the current status of its medical treatment are discussed.
