However, before azithromycin, we think this patient should be treated with other pharmacologic agents to manage his COPD and prevent exacerbations.8 p.application/pdfeng(c) Massachusetts Medical Society, 2012Antígens bacteriansÚs terapèuticMalalties del pulmóBacterial antigensTherapeutic usePulmonary diseasesAntibiotic prevention of acute exacerbations of COPDinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6175102020-04-24info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess22830464
