Abstract
Hemoptysis secondary to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is uncommon in children. When it does occur, extensive investigations are often required to determine the underlying cause. We present a unique case of a 17-year-old previously healthy male adolescent with a history of allergic rhinitis, who initially presented with pneumonia in the setting of influenza A. He subsequently developed DAH, prompting further diagnostic evaluations that ultimately revealed a rare condition with long-term morbidity.
