Özet
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by respiratory infection which can show very different clinical pictures, somewhat changing medical paradigm. Hemoptysis defined as idiopathic can be seen as much as 15%. Currently, increasing hemoptysis cases are being reported in medical coronavirus literature. We here present a hemoptysis case that would be defined as idiopathic before the COVID-19 era. After the first clinical picture, the case turned into a life-threatening hemoptysis. We studied the case com-prehensively as clinical, pathogenetical, therapeutic and clinical practical aspects. Thus, we hypothesized that especially in the pandemic era, all hemoptysis cases must be evaluated as a possible life threatening infectious disease with unpredictable prognosis.
