Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in patients with chronic lung diseases are a common acute reason to consult respiratory practitioners and often lead to inadequate prescription of antibiotics. The primary objective of the investigators study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care testing (POCT) for procalcitonin (PCT) in identifying pneumonia as a bacterial infection in outpatients with LRTI.
