Data from these patients was collected for the analysing the underlying cause & it’s correlation with radiological, microbiological and pathological findings. Result: Pulmonary tuberculosis, both active and inactive (68%), Bronchiectasis (10%), Neoplasm (7%) accounted for the most common aetiologies of haemoptysis. Microbiological correlation for sputum culture positivity with haemoptysis patients is (42%). Various organisms were found in Culture & Sensitivity, in which Klebsiella (20%), E.coli (11%) and Pseudomonas (6%) accounted for the most common organisms found in sputum culture. Radiological findings association shows more than two zone involved radiological lesion attributed (30%), RUZ (23%) and LUZ (21%) among most common zones.
