[Idiopathic lung hemosiderosis in a 3-year-old child following ductus ligation in the neonatal period].
A premature girl (birth weight 1 405 g, gestational age 32 weeks) was mechanically ventilated for 36 days because of respiratory distress, pulmonary hemorrhage and ductus arteriosus. The hemodynamically active ductus was ligated on the 22nd day of life. At the age of three years a mycoplasma pneumonia and a pulmonary hemosiderosis developed. The possible etiologic role of the neonatal lung problems and the mycoplasma infection for the pulmonary hemosiderosis is discussed. Because a similar case has thus for not been reported the coincidence may be by chance.
