Antibiotics should be used in patients with moderate or severe COPD exacerbations, especially if there is increased sputum purulence or the need for hospitalization.
Case. A 58-year-old male smoker with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1 56% predicted) is admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD for the second time this year.

Antibiotic Guidance for Treatment of Acute Exacerbations of. COPD (AECOPD) in Adults. Antibiotics are not recommended for all patients with AECOPD as bacterial infection is implicated in less than one-third of. AECOPD. Procalcitonin (PCT) may be helpful in determining if antibiotics are necessary or the duration of
Procalcitonin is an acute phase reactant. Procalcitonin levels increase in bacterial infections but do not increase in viral infections or auto-immune inflammation (Gilbert 2011). Procalcitonin has been proposed as a measure to determine if patients with an exacerbation of COPD require oral antibiotics. In most clinical trials,
15 Aug 2001 Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are treated with oxygen (in hypoxemic patients), inhaled beta2 agonists, inhaled anticholinergics, antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids. Methylxanthine therapy may be considered in patients who do not respond to other bronchodilators.
These therapies include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, antimicrobials, mucolytics, and expectorants and, in the more severe cases, oxygen supplementation and mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure. The subsequent discussion will focus on the role of antibiotics in the treatment of acute exacerbation.
