Clinical features, etiology and outcomes of community-acquired pneumonia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

<h4>Background</h4>Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but previous studies are often contradictory.<h4>Objectives</h4>We aimed to ascertain the characteristics and outcomes of CAP in patients with COP...
