COPD exacerbations: causes, prevention, and treatment.

The Medical clinics of North America - 1 Jul 2012

Mackay Alex J, Hurst John R

The mechanisms of COPD exacerbation are complex. Respiratory viruses (in particular rhinovirus) and bacteria play a major role in the causative etiology of COPD exacerbations.
