Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, …

MACROPHAGE IRON CONTENT AND EXACERBATIONS OF COPD
Background: Many COPD patients have recurrent exacerbations due to infection, but there are no valid predictors of this phenotype. Previously an observational study showed that higher iron content in sputum macrophages was associated with infectious exacerbations. Objectives: The thesis aimed to …

Glucocorticoid resistance in COPD patients and lung cancer
COPD is linked to inflammatory mediators that orchestrate the disease progression, mainly in the small airways and in parenchymal tissue. Inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines and oxygen free radicals, orchestrate the inflammatory response, causing disruption of the epithelial …
