Hello, guys. Close friends of mine got baby several days ago. However, it seems that this baby is diagnosed with pulmonary hemorrhage. I guess this condition is serious. What can we expect? Is this condition treatable? I hope everything will be all right. Thanks for all your replies, guys. Bye and thanks!

Hi. The expert would call this condition acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage with infants. Idiopathic means it hasn’t got a known cause. This condition is very difficult. I think it is even life threatening. However, there are some clinical studies with hemocoagulase. The duration of pulmonary hemorrhage was significantly shortened with this treatment. This group was compared to the babies treated with only mechanical ventilation. However, I don’t know whether this method is in massive use. A doctor must be consulted about this. I hope baby will recover.
