60-Year-Old Man With Recurrent Hemoptysis, Pulmonary Nodules, and Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy
<h3>Case Presentation</h3> A 60-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus sought treatment at our clinic with episodes of recurrent streaky hemoptysis (about 2 episodes per year for the last 3 years). These episodes resolved with oral antibiotics and empiric oral tranexamic acid given over a short duration of 2 to 3 days. The patient did not smoke and had no other notable medical history, except that one of his coworkers was receiving treatment for pulmonary TB.
