ABSTRACT
Patients with obstructive airways disease (asthma and chronic obstructive airways disease) with an acute exacerbation of symptoms were studied. Those requiring hospitalization were chosen to study the pattern of respiratory pathogens isolated on a supervised sputum culture. Certain variables were studied in a case control design to determine an association with culture positivity.
