Severe pulmonary hemorrhage following lymphography.
The hemoptysis which occurs following lymphography typically consists of one or more episodes of blood-tinged sputum, and generally requires no treatment. In contradistinction to this "mild" form of hemoptysis, the current report describes a case of hemoptysis following lymphography--hemoptysis so severe as to require multiple transfusions. Time course and possible etiologic factors are discussed.
