Abstract
We present the case of a patient with alveolar hemorrhage associated with tirofiban whose diagnosis was delayed because the initial signs went unnoticed, initially interpreting the condition as pneumonia. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to guide the management of any type of bleeding complication in a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in the case of alveolar hemorrhage (AH).
