Rhinovirus is a common cause of upper respiratory tract infection but is rarely associated with DAH in immunocompetent individuals. We report 2 cases of life-threatening DAH associated with rhinovirus infection, both presenting with severe hypoxemia and showing marked improvement following corticosteroid therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient concerns:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Case 1: An 85-year-old woman presented with massive hemoptysis, dyspnea, and hypoxemia. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and patchy consolidations. Case 2: A 70-year-old woman developed worsening dyspnea and hemoptysis despite antibiotics. She was hypoxemic, and chest CT showed bilateral GGOs and consolidations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Diagnoses:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated progressively hemorrhagic aliquots consistent with DAH in both cases.
