Why does Li Xingke bleed for no reason?

Question

Throughout Code Geass R2, Xingke was shown to bleed through his mouth for no apparent reason, especially in a plane or a knightmare. Does he have the same sickness as Itachi in Naruto or what?

P.S. In that picture (when the million Zeros get exiled), he says "Don't be concerned, I just have to last a little longer."

as far as I know, the details of his illness were never described in the anime — TheFlow0360, Jun 29 '17 at 06:58
It's been years and there was no announcement of R3. Also, like TheFlow0360 said, his sickness was never explained in detail. It was just he was gravely ill — 絢瀬絵里, Jul 01 '17 at 02:50

In fiction, when people cough up blood that usually means they have tuberculosis. It's a standard way to depict the illness like that.

What about Itachi? – Jeffery Tang Jul 18 '18 at 19:21
I've not seen Naruto so I can't tell for certain, but chances are that he too has tuberculosis if he coughs up blood. – Lelouch vi Britannia Jul 18 '18 at 19:29
