ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of moxifloxacin (MXF) in serum and sputum/bronchial secretions of 22 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) hospitalized in the ward and intensive care unit (ICU). The data showed that ICU patients had lower concentrations in secretions (P = 0.01). However, no other statistically significant differences were observed in pharmacokinetic parameters and penetration in secretions between ward and ICU patients. MXF showed a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, and the pharmacodynamic targets for common pathogens for AECOPD were achieved.
