AB Diffuse  alveolar  hemorrhage  may  occur  in  a  variety  of  immune  and  nonimmune  disorders.  Alveolar  infiltrates  on  chest  radiograph,  dyspnea,  anemia,  hemoptysis,  and  occasionally  fever  are  characteristic.  Rapid  clearing  of  diffuse  lung  infiltrates  within  2  days  is  a  clue  to  the  diagnosis  of  diffuse  alveolar  hemorrhage  (eFigure  9–26).  Pulmonary  hemorrhage  can  be  associated  with  an  increased  single-breath  diffusing  capacity  for  carbon  monoxide  (DLCO).
