Abstract
Three cases of haemoptysis amongst musical wind instrument players encountered in last five years are reported. None had an identifiable pathology in lungs. Detailed investigations including computed tomography of chest and fibreoptic bronchoscopy were normal. Turbulent airflow, frictional trauma to airways due to repeated blowing is proposed as the underlying aetio-pathogenesis.
