Most Common cause of hemoptysis? - freshmind1

I thought it was bronchiectasis since you see necrotizing infection of bronchi, but my SP says its chronic bronchitis?

Can anyone clear the confusion?

Your SP correct: Chronic bronchitis/acute exacerbation nowadays.
Bronchiectasis frightening part complication "massive hemoptysis" then alarming/life threatening in nature/asphyxiation.

Only if u argue over "common cause".Try to get along with your SP u need each other.
