Hello,
Pneumonia may cause hemolysis and little jaundice also, pneumonia itself can cause hemoptysis. Vomiting with blood may be due to stress ulcers or peptic ulcer disease. Without proper history and examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Please post investigation reports and x-ray reports we will discuss the possible causes of this problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
