Les expectorations, [aussi] appelées crachats, sont provoquées par une accumulation de sécrétions, survenant notamment au cours d'affections bronchopulmonaires : bronchite aiguë, bronchite chronique, bronchectasie, asthme, infection pulmonaire (pneumonie, abcès du poumon, tuberculose), altérations bronchiques consécutives au tabagisme.
