title: [Inhalation therapy and laser therapy in chronic bronchitis].
abstract: Sixty five patients aged 24 to 68 years who had chronic bronchitis (with the rate of exacerbations of at least twice a year) in the phase of exacerbation were examined. They were 46 males and 19 females. As being examined and diagnosed, all the patients were divided into 3 groups and treated by different regimens. Sixty five took drug therapy, in 44 patients it was supplemented by endobronchial laser radiation, 22 of them also received halo therapy. Following 6-week therapy, signs of endobronchitis disappeared in a significantly larger number of patients undergone laser therapy. Moreover, there was an increase in the interval between exacerbations in patients who additionally received halo therapy.
