ABSTRACT
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a syndrome causing catastrophic respiratory failure, secondary to pathophysiological processes within the natural history of a variety of diseases and clinical conditions. Should be considered a medical emergency due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated. It represents a diagnostic challenge because symptoms and signs are often nonspecific. It requires a highlevel of suspicion to early recognition, essential step towards the establishment of supportive measures and specific therapy for survival.
