Abstract Objective To study the clinical effect and risk of early recurrence risk of high dose levofloxacin on the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods 92 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was given levofloxacin 750 mg qd 5 days, while the control group was given levofloxacin 500 mg qd 10 days. Clinical effects between the two groups after treatment and 8 weeks after treatment were compared. Results There was no significant difference of the initial clinical success rate between the observation group and the control group. The use of antimicrobial agents and the duration of hospitalization of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group. The pathogen clearance rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. The rate of re-acute exacerbation of the observation group was lower than that of the control group within 8 weeks after treatment. There was no significant difference of pulmonary function at 8 weeks after treatment, and the CAT score of the observation group was better than that of the control group. No serious drug-related adverse reactions were found in the study. Conclusion Compared with routine therapy, the high dose levofloxacin has good initial clinical success rate, higher pathogen clearance rate, lower risk of early acute exacerbation and better improvement of clinical symptoms.
