Low immunoglobulin levels affect the course of COPD in hospitalized patients

2022-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects up to 10% of Canadians. Patients with COPD, as a result of chronic disease, poor nutrition, or frequent courses of oral corticosteroids, may present with secondary humoral immunodeficiency that might predispose them to mucosal infections. We hypothesized that decreased serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels was assoc...
