简要总结

The objectives of the study are

  • to determine the prevalence of respiratory virus infections in COPD patients, during and outside acute exacerbation
  • to explore the impact of these viral infections on the outcome of these patients
  • to explore the association between blood procalcitonin levels and viral infections in this population.

详细描述

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity due to repeated exacerbations. The impact of viral infections during and outside COPD exacerbations is poorly understood and there is only scarce data on the role of new biological markers of infection for the management of COPD exacerbations.

Objectives of the project

The investigators aim to

  1. describe the epidemiology of viral infections in patients admitted with an exacerbation of their COPD;
  2. explore the evolution of viral infections outside exacerbations;
  3. analyze the impact of viral infections on clinical outcomes;
  4. explore the role of biological markers (CRP, procalcitonin) for the diagnosis and prognosis of viral infections.
