An increased incidence of hemoptysis in young adults with cystic fibrosis associated with a high mortality has been recently noted. Because of bilateral diffuse pulmonary involvement and decreased respiratory reserve, surgical intervention has been avoided. An 18-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis and massive hemoptysis underwent pneumonectomy 11 months ago and is presently well. To our knowledge, this is the first patient with cystic fibrosis and life-threatening hemoptysis to undergo an emergency pulmonary resection. |
