Pulmonary Haemosiderosis in Mitral Stenosis

Pulmonary hypertension in mitral stenosis.

Pulmonary blood volume in mitral stenosis.

Various haemodynamic parameters in patients with mitral stenosis have been extensively studied but only a few measurements of the pulmonary blood volume are available (Milnor et al., 1960; Dock et al., 1961 ; McGaff et al., 1963 ; Schreiner et al., 1963; Yu et al., 1963). Furthermore, no worker has correlated the pulmonary symptoms of patients with mitral stenosis to their pulmonary blood volum...

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis revisited.

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage of unknown aetiology. It occurs most frequently in children, has a variable natural history with repetitive episodes of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, and has been reported to have a high mortality. Many patients develop iron deficiency anaemia secondary to deposition of haemosiderin iron in the alveoli. Examinat...

Pulmonary haemosiderosis and gluten

(1) Birth order had no significant influence on the incidence of the disease in boys or girls. Birth order distribution (first born, 42*9%; second, 31-8%, third, 17-9%; fourth, or more 7-4%) did not differ significantly from census data.3 (2) There were significantly more infants with low birth weight (<2500 g) (9-3%) in the group with pyloric stenosis than in the control population (4.9%).4 (3...

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis in children.

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 year...
