The Drug-Induced Respiratory Disease Website

(Fr: hémoptysie isolée). Lone hemoptysis. Hemoptysis presumed to be drug-induced may disclose an underlying airway or pulmonary benign or malignant condition. Hemoptysis is a classic, though inconsistent manifestation of underlying diffuse alveolar hemorrhage or DAH (see under IIIa). Certain drugs do increase the risk of post-procedural (e.g. TBLB, maybe also cryobiopsy) bleeding and need to be withdrawn prior to the procedure
