Overview

Common physical examination findings of IPH include tachypnea, pallor during the acute phase, and hepatosplenomegaly, failure to thrive and weight loss, and signs of respiratory failure such as digital clubbing in the chronic phase in severe cases.

Physical Examination

Between the episodes of pulmonary hemorrhages, patients may remain well but commonly there is chronic ill-health. Physical examination findings vary depending on whether it is an acute or chronic presentation.
