Causes of Hemoptysis Infections Tuberculosis Bronchiectasis Pneumonia Acute and Chronic Bronchitis/Tracheitis Lung abscess (bacterial, tuberculous, amebiasis)

Fungal infections (aspergillus, mucor) Cystic Fibrosis Cardiovascular Mitral stenosis Aortic aneurysm communicating with tracheobronchial tree Arterio-venous fistula with bronchial communication Left ventricular failure

Tumours Carcinoma Lung Bronchial carcinoid Bronchial Adenoma

Pulmonary vascular Pulmonary thromboembolism Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease Pulmonary infarction Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis Pulmonary hypertension

Vasculitis causing alveolar hemorrhage Goodpastures syndrome Wegeners granulomatosis Systemic lupus erythematosus Behcets disease Systemic sclerosis Mixed connective tissue disorder

Trauma Foreign body Rib fracture Blunt trauma chest Inhalation injury due to burns Stab and gunshot injury to thorax Broncholith

Blood dyscrasias Hemophilia Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Iatrogenic Endobronchial biopsies from vascular tumours, Pulmonary artery puncture by swan-ganz catheter Trans bronchial lung biopsy Post pneumonectomy and lobectomy

Drug induced Anti-coagulants like warfarin Isocyanates, Nitrofurantoin D-pencillamine
