title: Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage complicating thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage has rarely been reported as a complication of thrombolytic therapy. Recently, two patients who developed this complication were observed at our institution. This diagnosis should be considered in any post-thrombolytic patient with respiratory distress, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, and an otherwise unexplained fall in hemoglobin.
