32 Hemoptysis inChildren: ENT-Related Etiologies
419
If a chest x-ray reveals an atypical mass, a bronchoscopic evaluation can be per­formed as an outpatient. To rule out neoplasm, outpatient beroptic bronchoscopy may also be necessary for patients with a normal chest radiograph and risk factors for lung cancer or recurrent hemoptysis. A high-resolution CT scan is warranted when sputum and bronchoscopy fail to reveal pathology despite a clinical suspicion of malignancy. A high-resolution CT scan is also justied when a chest X-ray indi­cates peripheral or other parenchymal illness [2].
32.2.2 Massive Hemoptysis
Massive hemoptysis fatality rates vary according to the severity and cause of the bleeding. Massive hemoptysis, dened as more than 1000mL of blood lost in 24h, is associated with an 80% fatality rate [7]. These individuals need immediate atten­tion and a pulmonologist’s opinion. Hemostasis of catastrophic or life-threatening proportions requires close medical attention. Because asphyxiation, not bleeding to death, is the leading cause of mortality, it is crucial to keep the airway open. Resuscitation measures such as providing more oxygen and uids are essential. Since immediate surgical intervention may be required [2], getting help from a car­diothoracic surgeon is recommended.

32.4 Diagnostic Evaluation

Critical blood tests (complete blood count and coagulation prole) and a chest radiograph are the initial stages in the assessment for most children presenting with hemoptysis. The results of the history and physical are used to make further diag­noses [3].
32.4.1 History
If the etiology of the hemoptysis is unclear, a complete medical history should be obtained when the patient has stabilized. The following six ndings may help in determining the etiology of hemoptysis:
32.4.1.1 Infection Warning Signs
• Tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, and bronchiectasis are frequently diagnosed when blood is present in mucopurulent sputum.
• Pneumonia is suspected when there is a fever, chills, and purulent, bloody sputum.
• Anaerobic lung abscess is suspected when sputum has a putrid odor.
32.4.1.2 Choking
Even if the choking event happened days or weeks before the hemoptysis, a foreign body in the trachea or airway should be considered.
32.4.1.3 Exposures
These risk factors have been linked to hemoptysis:
• Illegal narcotics, especially cocaine, and similar inhalants.
• Nicotine or cannabis smoking can cause pneumonia-like lung symptoms [8].
• Phenytoin, retinoic acid, amiodarone, propylthiouracil, and penicillamine are all linked to an increased risk of alveolar hemorrhage.
• Medications that lower platelet counts or otherwise interfere with normal platelet function.
• Breathing in nitrogen dioxide fumes from broken ice resurfacing and ventilation equipment at a hockey rink.

421
• Travel and exposure—Find out whether they have ever visited or lived where TB is common or have had any recent contact with homeless people, inmates, insti­tutions, or migrant workers. Inquire about any trips to regions known to harbor endemic mycoses or comparable exposures (such as participation in archaeologi­cal digs or spelunking) [3].
32.4.1.4 Underlying Medical Problems
Symptoms or diagnoses that point to a more serious medical issue are considered “underlying medical problems” [3].
• Trauma.
• Easy bruising, menorrhagia, or a history of bleeding that suggests a problem (such as von Willebrand disease).
• Degenerative lung or heart disease.
• Bronchiectasis is sometimes linked to systemic symptoms of collagen vascular diseases or vasculitis syndromes.
• Hematuria, which may be indicative of pulmonary-renal syndrome.
32.4.2 Physical Examination
Hemoptysis may be diagnosed based on several clues gleaned from a thorough physical examination, some of which are included in this section.
• Chest or neck bruises (a sign of trauma).
• Crepitus indicates obstruction of the airway.
• Hemangioma or telangiectasia (both of which point to arteriovenous malformations).
• Clubbed ngers (which may indicate chronic obstructive pulmonary illness, pul­monary arteriovenous malformations, or congenital heart defects).
• A lost tooth can be inhaled, especially if the kid is sleeping. It can cause bleeding in the oral cavity or nasopharynx, elevating the possibility of foreign body aspiration.
• Infectious conditions, foreign body aspiration, and localized airway, or paren­chymal hemorrhage can all lead to aberrant breath sounds.
32.4.3 Laboratory Evaluation
Patients experiencing hemoptysis of at least moderate severity (5 mL blood) and unclear etiology should see a pediatric pulmonologist. These people should have routine testing for [3] conditions:
Undiagnosed hemoptysis in children [3]:
• A complete blood count.
422
M. O. Korkmaz et al.
• Coagulation tests must be performed to rule out von Willebrand disease (plasma von Willebrand factor antigen, von Willebrand factor activity, and factor VIII activity).
• Sputum should be cultured for bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and acid-fast bacilli should be stained if possible.
• Screening for hematuria using urinalysis.
32.4.4 Imaging
Radiographs of the chest taken traditionally should include at least two different angles. Parenchymal and alveolar opacities may be seen on radiographs if there has been a hemorrhage, and these opacities may be widespread or localized to one area of the lungs. Similar symptoms may present themselves in cases of nonpulmonary blood aspiration.
Some of the characteristics that point to a particular cause of bleeding are [3]: Hyperination, volume loss, or localized pneumonia are all symptoms of endo-
bronchial blockage that a foreign body may cause if it is radiopaque.
• Cavitations (which may indicate TB, a fungal infection, or granulomatosis with polyangiitis).
• Bronchiectasis—until the condition is well advanced, plain radiography has lim­ited sensitivity for identifying bronchiectasis. A “tram-track” look has been asso­ciated with severe bronchiectasis.
Radiographs may seem normal in as much as one-third of infants with hemopty-
sis [9, 10].
Patients with moderate or severe hemoptysis for whom a focused history, physi-
cal, and chest radiograph have failed to yield an explanation should undergo addi­tional evaluation using computed tomography (CT) of the chest with contrast by multidetector CT angiography [3].
The CT angiography procedure should be tailored to view the bronchial arteries
since they are the most common sites of pulmonary bleeding. This method should be enough if you are checking for pulmonary embolism in the pulmonary arterial circulation [11]. Alveolar hemorrhage often presents as “ground-glass” opacities in the perivascular regions, and CT angiography will also allow evaluation of the air­ways and lung parenchyma. The CT scan has the potential to detect airway and vascular abnormalities.
Pulmonary arteriography should be investigated if a signicant suspicion of vas-
cular abnormalities remains despite a negative CT scan. Bronchial arteriography may help pinpoint the source of bleeding and make bronchial artery embolization (BAE) [12] more effective in cases of signicant hemoptysis.

32.5 Hemoptysis: 32.5% ofCases had anENT Cause
32.5.1 Respiratory Illness
Sixty to seventy percent of instances of hemoptysis may be attributed to infection. Infection produces inammation and edema of the supercial mucosa, which can result in the rupture of the supercial blood vessels. Bronchitis was the leading cause of hemoptysis in a retrospective analysis [13] of inpatient and outpatient cases in the United States, followed by pneumonia (10%) and TB (8%). Most cases of hemoptysis are caused by infection with bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa or fungi like Aspergillus species. Severe hemoptysis can also be caused by viruses like inuenza [14]. Patients with human immunode­ciency virus (HIV) infection are more likely to develop pulmonary Kaposi’s sar­coma [2, 15], one of numerous illnesses that can cause hemoptysis.
In children without pulmonary, cardiac, hematologic, or neoplastic illness, infec-
tion is the leading cause of hemoptysis.
Infections, including TB, aspergilloma, and acute endemic mycoses, are com-
mon causes of hemoptysis. Hemoptysis is not prevalent in children with these infec­tions since cavitary illness is rare in this age group [16, 17].
In addition, hemoptysis can be caused by a pulmonary infection with a common
community-acquired bacterium, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Klebsiella, or Pseudomonas [18, 19]. Signicant bleeding can be a symptom of the inuenza virus, especially the H1N1 strain of the disease [2022]. Evidence suggests that the immunothrombosis pathophysiology of pneumonia caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to alveolar bleeding [23, 24].
Finally, any acute respiratory illness that induces vigorous coughing might result
in mild hemoptysis (blood-streaked sputum) due to mechanical stress on the airway. Hemoptysis of this sort typically resolves on its own [3].
32.5.2 Aspiration ofaNon-native Body
Children under three are at the most risk for foreign body aspiration. Most children aspirate do not have symptoms associated with the incident until days or weeks later, when they may appear with wheezing (typically monophonic and occasionally unilateral), persistent cough, pneumonia, or hemoptysis [25]. A history of choking strongly suggests foreign body aspiration. However, the patient may not remember the episode when they present [3].
32.5.3 Trauma
Suctioning past the tracheal entrance of the tube can cause mucosal damage to the central airways and bloody sputum in children who have an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy. Very minimal bleeding occurs; this is not considered clinically
424
M. O. Korkmaz et al.
signicant. Humidication, soft suction catheters, and controlled suction lengths can help protect the mucosa from further injury and possibly even stop bleeding. Children who require a tracheostomy for an extended period may also experience granulation tissue formation, resulting in mild hemoptysis [3].
Bronchoscopy results may include mucosal abrasions or granulation tissue in
around 10% of these children, indicating that the bleeding is more extensive than initially thought.
It is incredibly uncommon for signicant hemoptysis to develop as a result of an
airway tube eroding into a big vessel in the mediastinum or tracheal wall; nonethe­less, some case reports describe presentations with bouts of non-massive “sentinel” bleeding [2628]. Patients who have undergone a tracheostomy should have any signs of profuse bleeding assessed immediately by a surgical expert, usually using beroptic endoscopy [3].
Adult studies show that bleeding during transbronchial biopsies occurs in
0.26–5.0% of instances and is seldom signicant in these people.
32.5.4 Hemoptysis Mimics
Hemoptysis is the term used to describe the expectoration of blood from the lungs. True hemoptysis [3] might be confused with bleeding from the upper respiratory tract, the oropharynx or nasopharynx, or the upper digestive tract (for example, from esophageal varices related to cirrhosis).
Children who produce injuries that seem like pulmonary bleeding on themselves
have been described as having “factitious hemoptysis” [29]. A patient who appears with hemoptysis, odd symptoms, and a negative assessment [30] should be evalu­ated for Munchausen syndrome (or Munchausen syndrome via proxy).

33.1 Introduction

United airway disease (UAD) in children describes the shared epidemiologic, pathophysiologic, and clinical evidence that revealed the strong relationship among the most frequent and chronic inammatory diseases of the upper and lower airways including allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and asthma (Table33.1) [2, 4]. This concept proposes that these diseases are manifestations of a single unied airway inammatory process and inammation in one part of the airway will likely stimulate a similar reaction throughout the rest of the airway. Due to recent scientic improvements in the knowledge of mechanisms for chronic inammation of both upper and lower airways, the concept of a single disease has been replaced by syndromes encompassing complex biological networks of distinct and interrelating inammatory pathways (endotypes) with variable clinical presen­tations (phenotypes) [3].
The aim of this section was to provide a better understanding of the common pathophysiologic mechanisms of airway inammation supporting the link between the so-called UAD in children.
