| Hemoptysis | Blood in sputum or blood from the lungs. |
| Hematemesis | Vomiting blood or blood from the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Hyperthermia | Temp increase cuasing increase of O2 consumption and CO2 production. Also causes increase in ventilation and circulation. |
| Fever | Temp increase caused by disease. |
| Pleuritic chest pain | Located laterally or posteriorly worsens if patient takes a deep breath. Sharp stabbing type pain. |
