| description | The case report of a 44 years mixed race patient from an urban area is described, with a personal history of alcoholic liver disease who was admitted in the Pneumology Service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, after being referred from her health area due to expectoration episodes with blood and dry cough.
