Neither forced expiratory volume in one second <35% predicted, smoking habit, corticosteroid therapy nor evidence of bacterial infection showed any influence on the spontaneous apopotosis in this study. In conclusion, during acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, neutrophil granulocytes show a reduced spontaneous apoptosis that increases progressively after treatment and clinical remission. This raises the question of the importance of neutrophil apoptosis in the development and resolution of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. M.W.R.
