title: [Foreign bodies and hemoptysis: about danger of ingesting blister-wrapped tablets].
abstract: A case of hemoptysis may be challenging for clinicians because of the many etiologies involved in this differential diagnosis. Sometimes the cause of this symptom may be very surprising. We present a case of hemoptysis due to ingestion of a blister. This case illustrates the difficulties of identifying rare causes of hemoptysis, especially blister ingestion frequently occurring in old and neurological or cognitive impaired patients.
