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.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Age

  • IPH is more commonly observed among children. ( approximately 80% of cases are seen in children who are diagnosed in the first decade of life.) [1] [2]
  • 20% of cases are adult-onset IPH.

Gender

  • IPH affects males and females equally in childhood-onset IPH
  • Adult-onset IPH are almost twice as many males as females.
  • Males are more commonly affected by IPH than females in adult-onset IPH.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection for IPH.
