[Goodpasture's syndrome as a cause of pulmonary hemorrhages].

: Analyzing the case histories of 5 patients with Goodpasture's syndrome who have admitted to an emergency clinic for suspected tuberculosis leads to the conclusion that the onset of the disease appeared as intoxication and lung damage, and evolving general weakness, fever, cough. Hemopoiesis appeared just when overall clinical manifestations appeared, it varied from single sputum blood filaments to more frequent mows of pure red blood sputum for several weeks, but there was never an increasing hourly progressively and this failed to cause a rapid drop of hemoglobin. Anemia is attributable by pulmonary blood imbibition, intoxication, and suppressed hemopoiesis in renal failure rather than by external blood loss as hemoptysis.
