Systemic versus Pulmonary Bleeding in Lung Infection: Value of CT in Two Cases

Bronchial and pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare causes of hemoptysis in the course of lung infection, for which early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent fatal bleeding. Depending on patient condition, these occurrences are amenable to computed tomography (CT) to determine both the ca...
