Children with Heiner Syndrome: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract

Heiner syndrome is a rare cause of pulmonary hemosiderosis in children that is triggered by cow’s milk allergy. Herein, we describe our experience with three recent cases of Heiner syndrome with diverse clinical courses. We recommend that clinicians should consider the possibility of Heiner syndrome in children who exhibit characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis.
