A 74-year-old man with a diagnosis of chronic bronchitis-type COPD with frequent exacerbations and persistent mucopurulent expectoration, who is admitted by a new acute exacerbation with mild hemoptotic sputum in which opportunistic infections are ruled out and a characterization of the phenotypes according to GesEPOC is performed and a readjustment of his treatment. The recent update of the GesEPOC guidelines advises a characterization of patients with COPD and high risk, stratifying the treatment and its management depending on the different phenotypes described.
