A member asked:

Diseases of respiratory system that can be predicted by colour of sputum

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very few: Bronchitis and pneumonia are the major causes of "colored sputum". However the color is not adequate indication of what the etiology is and so for some years is not thought helpful unless it is bloody and then cancer, TB and other major diseases need to be ruled out by your physician.
