Abstract

A 33-year-old man with a medical history of childhood exercise-induced asthma presented to the ED with 2 days of hemoptysis. He described the hemoptysis as bright red blood with clots, approximately 100 cm<sup>3</sup> in total. He denied prior hemoptysis, pulmonary infections, or exposure to TB. Years ago he had an episode of gross hematuria, but a urologic workup was unrevealing.
