Summary
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease. Azithromycin, an
antibiotic, may be beneficial at reducing the symptoms and severity of the disease. This
study will analyze previously collected study data to evaluate the anti-inflammatory
properties of azithromycin and determine how azithromycin affects the frequency and severity
of COPD exacerbations.
