(3) In conclusion, the association between pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac disease in adults is rare but should not be overlooked, given that the pulmonary disease has significant clinical impact. If left untreated, it can have a poor prognosis, with the development of pulmonary fibrosis and chronic airflow limitation.…”

“…In some cases, the use of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants can be beneficial, constituting a therapeutic option. (3) …”

An interesting co-existence of celiac disease and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis: Lane Hamilton syndrome

“…Co-existence of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac disease is defined as Lane-Hamilton syndrome. This is a rare condition that generally accompanies symptomatic clinical CD findings [4]. IPH responds well to corticosteroids, while a gluten-free diet can reduce the need for corticosteroids in comorbid IPH-CD [5].…”
