PULMONARY HAEMORRHAGE WITH EXTENSIVE GLOMERULAR DISEASE OF THE KIDNEY

Abstract

Under the title " Haemorrhagic and Interstitial Pneumonia with Nephritis," Parkin, Rusted, Burchell, and Edwards (1955) described seven cases in which gross haemorrhage into the alveoli of the lungs occurred in association with a severe glomerular lesion of the kidneys. The present paper describes three cases seen at St. Mary's Hospital during the past four years in which a similar association was found, and an attempt is made to consider the nature of such an association.
