Overview
- The prevalence and incidence of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis are relatively unknown because of the rare nature. IPH is more commonly observed among children. 20% of cases are adult-onset IPH.IPH affects males and females equally in childhood-onset IPH. Males are more commonly affected by IPH than females in adult-onset IPH.
