  • 2. Patients with a diagnosis of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis* characterized by the presence of the following three symptoms, or at least two including purulence:
  • ?increased dyspnoea;
  • ? increased of sputum volume;
  • ? increased of sputum purulence, that had to be confirmed macroscopically by the investigator.
  • * Chronic bronchitis is characterized by cough and excessive secretion of mucus and is diagnosed when patients report production of sputum on most days over at least three consecutive months for 2 or more consecutive years (American Thoracic Society 1995).
  • 3. FEV1 >50% of the predicted value.
  • 4. Availability of a valid sputum specimen of broncho-pulmonary origin for microbiological evaluation obtained by either expectoration, suction, bronchoscopy or bronchial lavage. Valid samples will be characterized by < 10 squamous epithelial cells and > 25 polymorph nuclear leucocytes per low-power magnification 100x field (Wilson 2004).
  • 5. Negative chest radiography to rule out pneumonia and active tuberculosis.
  • 6. Written informed consent to the trial signed and dated by the patient according to the local regulations, obtained prior to all activities related to the trial.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

  • 10.Other lower respiratory tract illness: severe bronchiectasies, cystic fibrosis, or pulmonary malignancy.
  • 11.Concurrent infections and /or neoplasm.
  • 12.Concomitant treatment with hypoglycemic drugs.
  • 13.Patients under treatment with fenbufen and xanthines. Patients treated with xanthines could however be recruited if plasma levels were monitored; if plasma levels exceeded concentrations of 10-15 micrograms/ml, the daily dosages of xanthines should be lowered by the Investigator (Hendels 1983);
  • 14.Treatment with antibiotics or antibacterials within the previous week
  • 15.Treatment with experimental drugs in the previous 4 weeks
