Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a multicause pulmonary capillary hemorrhage or pulmonary vascular small vessel injury (mainly capillaries, including arteries and veins), causing pulmonary microcirculation blood to accumulate in the alveolar space. DAH is classified by the histological absence or presence of pulmonary capillaritis (PC) and is rarely reported in the literature.
