title: Recurrent hemoptysis in tuberculosis with non-cavitary lung disease as a symptom of mild hemophilia A in a young adult.
abstract: Hemoptysis in patients with tuberculosis is usually associated with smear-positive and cavitary lung disease. The present case describes a patient suffering from recurrent hemoptysis associated with tuberculosis who had smear-negative and non-cavitary lung disease, and who was subsequently diagnosed as having mild hemophilia A. Although mild hemophilia A sometimes escapes detection until adolescence, there has been no reported case of mild hemophilia A detected by recurrent hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we report a rare case of recurrent hemoptysis in a patient with tuberculosis who had smear-negative and non-cavitary lung disease and who was finally shown to have hemophilia A.
