A chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrates (Figure 1), compatible with pulmonary hemorrhage.

Thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral parenchymal consolidation in gravity-dependent areas and ground glass-appearing opacities of lung parenchyma (Figure 2).
Flexible bronchoscopy on the day of admission revealed fresh blood in the entire tracheobronchial tree (a), and a copious frothy blood-tinged secretion was suctioned form the throat (b, c). Tracheobronchial tree on hospital day 1 (d).
