ICD-11 definition : Secondary pulmonary hemosiderosis is a respiratory disease due to the deposition of
hemosiderin-laden macrophages in lungs as a result of repeated alveolar hemorrhage
secondary to another disease, especially dysimmunitary disorders (i.e. Heiner syndrome,
autoimmune diseases), thrombotic disorders and cardiovascular disorders such as mitral
stenosis. It manifests as a triad of hemoptysis, anemia and diffuse parenchymal infiltrates
on chest radiography;
