| Abstract: | A 6 month old female child with tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve leaflets and anomalous origin of left pulmonary artery was admitted to hospital with a mild adenoviral lower respiratory tract infection. She had a large haemoptysis 1 week after admission, and recovered with simple supportive measures. This case illustrates a previously unreported complication of a rare anomaly. |
