Lane Hamilton Syndrome without gastrointestinal symptoms

Discussion: Lane-Hamilton syndrome is very rare and it should be kept in mind in patients with pulmonary hemorrhage even without gastrointestinal symptoms. We gave gluten free diet and steroid to our patient because of active hemoptysis and respiratory symptoms and he was improved with the treatment. Although steroid treatment is controversial in the literature, it should be used in patients with active respiratory symptoms.
