Abstract

Background: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized by the release of inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to compare serum levels of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD with those of a healthy control group.
