Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.

Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. Postgrad Med. 1996 Apr;99(4):89-104 Authors: Aboussouan LS Abstract Preview Patients with chronic bronchitis already, by definition, have coughing with copious and ongoing mucus production. Acute exacerbations increase the severity of these problems and add to them. Still, most patients can be treated without hospitalization if inflammation and infection are properly managed and adequate tracheobronchial clearance is achieved. Dr Aboussouan summarizes treatment methods to accomplish these goals and also discusses measures to prevent exacerbations. PMID: 29231107 [PubMed]
