		Haemoptysis is a much less common symptom but, nevertheless, it too requires careful assessment as it may be an early symptom of critical illness.
		This is essential in all cases of repeated haemoptysis, may be carried out under local anaesthesia and allows biopsies, brushings and washings to be taken from the bronchial tree.
		Haemoptysis is a symptom of underlying pulmonary pathology either primary or secondary to cardiac disease.

		The role of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the evaluation of haemoptysis and a mass lesion on X-ray is undisputed8.
		As the incidence of malignancy in patients with haemoptysis and normal CXR is low and bronchiectasis and tuberculosis are important causes of haemoptysis in India, it is suggested that a CT scan should precede bronchoscopy in patients with haemoptysis and normal CXR.

		Some patients only have a small amount of haemoptysis and their general conditon may be deteriorating making it likely that they will die from other causes.
		Many patients develop haemoptysis late in their disease trajectory and may not be able to beenfit from extensive investigatons and treatment but should be offered symptomatic relief using the treatments that can be offered without having to move the patient.
		Most patients (and their relatives) who have experienced a haemoptysis have a natural fear of it reoccuring and they it may become a massive bleeding causing the patient to die.

		Cause of death was cardiac arrest during operation in one and massive haemoptysis in the postoperative period in the second patient.
		In a recent study on the aetiology and evaluation of haemoptysis in third world countries, it was reported that the percentage of aspergilloma among other causes was 1.9%; tuberculosis being responsible for 17% of the haemoptysis episodes, and bronchiectasis for 21% (10).
		Generally bronchial embolization is valid for the immediate control of life threatening haemoptysis and has a low rate of severe complications; recurrence is relatively common (24%) [12].

		Remember, however, that respiratory symptoms can originate within the lungs or from other organs.Breathlessness may have a cardiac or respiratory cause, haemoptysis can be caused by vasculitic and rheumatic disease and cough can be a side effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors given for hypertension.
		The commonest symptoms of respiratory disease are cough, sputum,breathlessness, chest pain, wheeze, and haemoptysis.
		In a small proportion of patients with haemoptysis caused by bronchial carcinoma the chest radiograph is normal so careful follow up is advisable.

		Haemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the respiratory tract and is life-threatening when blood obstructs the major airway causing asphyxiation.
		Life-threatening haemoptysis is a relatively common clinical situation encountered by pulmonologists and thoracic embolotherapy is a key therapeutic option.
		Pertinent areas related to this theme, namely surgery and the role of bronchoscopy in life-threatening haemoptysis are discussed briefly.

		We were concerned that the cavities in the upper zone of the right lung, combined with significant haemoptysis, might represent active tuberculous (TB).
		Thorough questioning of the patient’s parents ruled out any obvious risk factors for TB; he was a perfectly healthy young man. Sputum was sent for acid fast bacilli and microbial culture and sensitivity; nothing of significance was identified or grown from these samples.
		The haemoptysis is not usually life threatening, but there has been at least one reported case in which emergency lobectomy was required to control endobronchial bleeding.1 Our patient had significant haemoptysis requiring a period of mechanical ventilation and high concentration of oxygen, but it resolved without surgical intervention.
