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. Les expectorations de sang, ou hémoptysies, sont un cas particulier; elles peuvent être dues à une affection bronchopulmonaire (cancer bronchique, embolie pulmonaire, tuberculose) ou cardiaque aiguë. 4, record 1, French, - expectoration
