Chest. 1993 Dec;104(6):1907-9. doi: 10.1378/chest.104.6.1907.

Abstract

Circulating immune complexes occurred during pulmonary hemorrhage in a pregnant patient with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, an association not previously reported. The patient required mechanical ventilation, but recovered; after a prolonged hospitalization, she was delivered of a healthy infant without further complications.
