Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Brief summary

COPD and non-COPD patients will be included in the study after collection of their non-objection. The exhalation will be collected to study the microbiological diversity of human exhalations. a second collection for the year +1 will be made, at the same time (between October and March).

Detailed description

The subjects will be recruited during a medical visit in the Departments of Pneumology and Occupational and Environmental Pathologies. After information and inclusion of the subject in the study, a collection of clinical data, the state of health and the smoking status of the subject will be carried out by the clinical study technician. A collection of the exhalation will also be carried out by the clinical study technician. Several groups of subjects will be formed according to pathologies (COPD versus non-COPD), age and smoking status

Interventions

OTHERcollection of human exhalation

the collection of the exhalation will be carried out with a non-invasive device manufactured by a Chinese company. The collection of exhalation consists of the subject inhaling through the nose and exhaling gently through the mouth through a plastic straw for a time set at 5 min in the device
