Purpose Of Review: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined by airflow obstruction and is associated with an exaggerated inflammatory response to noxious stimuli, such as cigarette smoke. Inflammation and recruitment of immune cells drives the underlying pathophysiology; however, the roles of immune cells in the pathogenesis of COPD are evolving and this review will discuss the latest advancements in this field.
Recent Findings: Leukocytes including macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes are increased in the airways of COPD patients.
