Abstract

The exacerbation period of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is differentiated with rapidly developing symptoms from the stable period. The most important complaints of the patients in this period are; progressive dispne, cough, increase in sputum quantity and purulance. In this paper we will discuss the etiologic factors of exacerbations of COPD and the impact on the patient's and community health.

Key words: COPD, Exacerbation, Etiology, Social Cost
