Hemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) occurs primarily due to the destruction of lung tissue and blood vessels as a result of the infection. The inflammatory response and caseous necrosis associated with TB can lead to the erosion of bronchial blood vessels, causing bleeding. Additionally, cavitary lesions formed in the lungs can rupture, further contributing to the presence of blood in the sputum. This symptom is a significant indicator of the severity of the disease and may require urgent medical evaluation.
