ABSTRACT
Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a syndrome with complex genetics and diverse manifestations. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is caused by alveolar microcirculation injury associated with lung illness or systemic disorders. To date, the relationship between diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and MELAS has not been reported. We report a MELAS patient who presented complications with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
