Lower respiratory tract infection is the most common cause of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Patients diagnosed with pneumonia in addition to an AECOPD experience more severe clinical and laboratory disease manifestations, increase in-hospital morbidity and worse outcome. Clinicians have sought for new biomarkers that together with clinical assessments can improve the diagnostic accuracy of pneumonia in patients with AECOPD.The aim of the present study is to compare the accuracy of calprotectin with procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC).

Patients admitted to the Department of Thoracic Medicine at Trondheim University Hospital (TUH) due to an AECOPD, age > 18years old. (EU). The patients were examined at the Emergency Unit and included in the study if they had a COPD diagnosis previously confirmed by spirometry according to the GOLD criteria and a clinically confirmed AECOPD

The standard hospital procedures were followed for collection and processing of blood for the analysis of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC). Additional blood samples for calprotectin were obtained at admission (T0) and 6 (T1), 24 (T2) and 48 (T3) hours post admission. Serum specimens for the calprotectin analysis were stored at minus 70°C until they were analyzed.
