ABSTRACT

The definition of hemoptysis varies greatly in the literature, with values ranging from a volume of expectorated blood of 100 to 600 mL, however, the amount of hemoptysis is difficult to quantify, therefore, it is preferable to use the term life-threatening hemoptysis. Human metapneumovirus infection mainly affects higher risk groups, such as children under five years of age, the elderly and immunosuppressed, where it can occur in a more serious form. In our manuscript we report the case of an immunocompetent patient who was admitted to the emergency department, presenting rapid and progressive deterioration secondary to life-threatening hemoptysis associated with metapneumovirus pneumonia.
