Popis:	Objective of the Paper: To demonstrate the issues with diagnosis and therapy in complicated community-acquired pneumonia associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Key Points. Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most common diseases. Of special interest are patients with comorbidities, since they have more risk factors of poor prognosis. This article describes a clinical case of complicated community-acquired pneumonia associated with COPD. Despite an adequate therapy, the patient developed an acute middle lobe abscess requiring surgery, as the patient had confounding factors. Conclusion. Timely diagnosis and an early adequate therapy allow improving the condition and quality of life of the patient and preventing severe complications. Keywords: pneumonia, abscess, antibacterials, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
