Bacterial infection in COPD
According to the British hypothesis proposed that recurrent bronchial infections were the reason that some smokers developed airflow obstruction while others did not. The recent studies have described a relationship between lung function decline and respiratory infections. Chronic bronchitis, respiratory infections and sputum bacterial counts; have been shown to be related to decline in lung function in COPD. The role of chronic bronchitis remains controversial though.
