hemoptysis

Hemoptysis had set in, and I felt that his hours were numbered.

Hemoptysis is a term used to signify bleeding from the lungs.

The case was a perfectly straightforward one—my patient was consumptive, had been so for years, and died at last of hemoptysis.

In some few instances hemoptysis has preceded convalescence, as has also a bleeding from the hemorrhoidal veins.

Hemoptysis indicates injury to the lung, but does not give assurance that this organ has been penetrated.
