[The use of the microclimate of artificial sylvinite speleoclimatic chambers in treating patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].
67 patients with purulent and 63 with catarrhal chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) were subjected to clinico-laboratory, functional and bronchoscopic examinations. 41% of the patients had COB exacerbation, 59% were in partial remission. As shown by improvement in clinical, immunological and morphological indices, blood biochemistry, sputum microscopy, spirometry, bronchoscopy findings, artificial sylvinite speleotherapy is effective in acute and purulent COB.
