Significant renal disease has not been observed in these patients. Some of the adult patients recently described also had associated glomerulonephritis (4-13). It is the purpose of this paper to report three adult patients with pulmonary hemosiderosis and glomerulonephritis and to review the literature on this unusual combination.CASE REPORTSCASE 1A 23-year-old white male was first seen on April 18, 1957, at a military hospital in Germany, with a history of chills, fever, and hemoptysis of 24 hours' duration. Past history revealed asymptomatic episodes of hemoptysis...References1. WALDENSTROM J: Relapsing, diffuse, pulmonary bleedings or hemosiderosis pulmonum—a new clinical diagnosis.
