Of 118 outpatients seen at the medical clinic of our hospital complaining chiefly of hemoptysis, bronchoscopy, bronchography and histopathological examination were performed in 44 in whom bronchial examination was considered necessary for diagnostic purposes.As a result of these examinations, the cause and site of the bloody sputum were clearly revealed in 33 of these cases(75%).Especially, it was found that the occurrence of hemoptysis in non-tuberculous diseases was unexpectedlyfrequent.
This study impressed upon me the importance of actively cooperating with other services and utilizing fully the special techniques of otorhinolaryngology and bronchoesophagology in related fields whenever bronchoscopic or esophagoscopic examinations are considered necessary for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, not only in diseases with hemoptysis, but in other diseases as well.
