A life-threatening haemoptysis case that would have been defined as idiopathic before the COVID-19 era

A life-threatening haemoptysis case that would have been defined as idiopathic before the COVID-19 era The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by respiratory infection which can show very different clinical pictures, somewhat changing medical paradigm. Hemoptysis defined as idiopathic can be seen as much as 15%. Currently, increasing hemoptysis cases are being reported in medical coronavirus literature. We here present a hemoptysis case that would be defined as idiopathic before the COVID-19 era. After the first clinical picture, the case turned into a life-threatening hemoptysis. We studied the case comprehensively as clinical, pathogenetical, therapeutic and clinical practical aspects. Thus, we hypothesized that especially in the pandemic era, all hemoptysis cases must be evaluated as a possible life threatening infectious disease with unpredictable prognosis.

COVID-19’dan önce olsa idiopatik olarak tanımlanacak hayatı tehdit edici hemoptizi olgusu

2019 koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), tıbbi paradigmayı biraz değiştirerek çok farklı klinik tablolar gösterebilen solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ile karakterizedir. İdiyopatik olarak tanımlanan hemoptizi %15’e kadar görülebilmektedir. Şu anda tıbbi koronavirüs literatüründe artan hemoptizi vakaları bildirilmektedir. Biz burada COVID-19 döneminden önce idiyopatik olarak tanımlanacak bir hemoptizi vakayı sunmaktayız. İlk klinik tablonun ardından olgu hayatı tehdit eden hemoptizi halini aldı. Vakayı klinik, patogenetik, terapötik ve klinik pratik yönleriyle kapsamlı bir şekilde inceledik. Biz de özellikle pandemi döneminde tüm hemoptizi olgularının prognozu belirsiz, yaşamı tehdit eden olası bir enfeksiyon hastalığı olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini varsaydık
