Is pulmonary tuberculosis with bloody sputum dangerous?
Question
Hello doctor,
I have pleural tuberculosis and pulmonary effusion. I withdrew the fluid and treated for 6 months. Now my health is also good, my chest is no longer as heavy as before, but from time to time, it stings and there is a state of sputum, sometimes a few small blood clots. So the doctor told me to ask if pulmonary tuberculosis that spits up blood is dangerous? Thank you doctor.
