hemoptysis Explanation: or bloody sputum I can't find espetulo anywhere, but I think it is another word for esputo, in which case Stedman's Medical Dictionary has hemoptysis (hemoptisis in Spanish) for "esputo hemoptoico" from RH Webster's: he·mop·ty·sis n. Pathol. the expectoration of blood or bloody mucus. Hope that helps |

peer agreement (net): -1bloody sputum Explanation: Hi Peter The word "espetulo" does not exist in Spanish, so I'm assuming the term you wanted (which would fit your context) is "esputo hemoptoico", that is, expectoración sanguinolenta. Suerte :-) Elena Kradin RL, Mark EJ. Case records of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Weekly clinicopathological exercises. Case 18-2002. A 48-year-old man with a cough and **bloody sputum**. N Engl J Med. 2002 Jun 13;346(24):1892-9. Curious **bloody sputum** causes concern. Wegener's granulomatosis. Postgrad Med. 2001 Apr;109(4):87-90. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to characterize the radiologic manifestations of pulmonary mucormycosis with clinical and pathologic correlation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical records, pathology reports, chest radiographs, and CT scans of 32 cases of pathologically proven pulmonary mucormycosis were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The study group included 20 males and 12 females with a mean age of 47 years old. Clinical data were available for 29 patients. Signs and symptoms included fever (n = 23), cough (n = 21), **bloody sputum** (n = 9), dyspnea (n = 7), and chest pain (n = 6). Four patients were asymptomatic.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-06-25 18:22:17 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- .......The term \"hemoptoic sputum\" appears only twice in PubMed, in articles authored by non-English speaking doctors. \"Bloody sputum\", on the other hand, appears once or more in 154 articles, reflecting the way this term is said among MD\'s in the US. |

peer agreement (net): +1small hemoptoic sputum Explanation: Probably this medical report refers to a small amount of blood discharged from the air passages that contained mucus and blood.

blood-tinged sputum/blood streaked sputum Explanation: Blood-tinged sputum means small quantities of blood in the sputum (Nelson-Textbook of Pediatrics - page 1307) The Spanish expresion is "esputo hemoptoico". It means the presence of blood in the pulmonary secretions or phlem. Depending of the amount of blood, you can say blood-tinged sputum when the amount of blood is very small or hemoptysis when there is a large amount of blood coming from the lungs. |
