[Clinical examinations of hemoptysis in chronic inflammatory bronchial diseases]

It is reported on 150 patients who were clinically examined due to expectoration of blood, of whom 103 under went a bronchological diagnostics immediately after hospitalisation. As to the frequencies of causes the tuberculosis occupies the first place, then follows the chronic bronchitis. The frequency of tuberculosis is reached by the chronic unspecific inflammation of the bronchial wall, when the disease groups characterized by symptom - chronic bronchitis, bronchectasia, infected bronchiolectatic honeycomb lung - are united to one collective. The experiences show that by means of endobronchial haemostasis including the tamponade of the bronchus surgical interventions in bleedings of the lung may be avoided, apart form rare exceptions.
