ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hemorrhage in Behçet's disease is exceptional. It usually presents as a hemoptysis and appears in advanced stages. A patient is described who sought medical care for oral and genital lesions, arthritis and progressive dyspnea. Analytical data showed anemia and chest X-ray revealed a bilateral interstitial pattern. A fiber bronchoscopy was performed which confirmed the existence of a diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage. Corticosteroid and azatioprine administration resolved the hemorrhage. Pulmonary hemorrhages in Behçet's disease are reviewed and in view of a available literature therapeutic possibilities are discussed.
