A member asked:
I have stage 4 copd. recently had a chest x-ray that showed no active infections. how is that possible or does that damage done by cops not show up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an infection: COPD is not an infection to be active. Not a good choice of words. It doesn't mean that there were no signs of COPD on the X-ray .
