The act or condition of spitting or coughing up blood; a variant form of hemoptysis.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'ptoe' (spitting, expectoration). This term is an older or variant medical terminology for coughing up blood.
Hemoptoe was the original medical term before doctors standardized on 'hemoptysis,' but doctors still might use it in some clinical settings as an older, more direct translation from Greek.
