Pneumonia

If the patient really has c o p d, and if they do not have pneumonia, the sptam culture will not help you. So clinically, seopet exasteration, n nemmonia can be almost impossible to differentiate. One other concept here is that you can definitely have both pneumonia and copd together. And this is so called a pneumonic copedxassurbation. The pneumonia causes broco spasm and airway inflammation. And the treatment is tha, treat everything. Its like the minority report approach. You want to give that patient steroids, antibotic, bronco dilators, the holsha bang.
