What is COPD in Infective Exacerbation?

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes persistent breathing difficulty due to narrowed airways and lung damage. An infective exacerbation of COPD occurs when symptoms suddenly worsen, most commonly due to a bacterial or viral infection such as pneumonia.

This acute phase is serious, especially in elderly patients, as it can significantly reduce oxygen levels and lead to respiratory failure if not treated promptly.

Common symptoms include:

Treatment focuses on controlling the infection, opening the airways, and stabilizing oxygen levels through medications and supportive respiratory care.
