The efficiency of treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis and associated bronchial asthma by physical factors and advisability of two-stage treatment are justified. Sixty six patients were observed. The conclusion on the efficiency of treatment was based on the data about the dynamics clinical state of the primary and associated diseases, intensity of inflammation activity in respiratory tract (rhinocytograms, biochemical indices of nasal lavages, level of nitrogen oxide in expired air were studied), patency of airways (manometry, spirography). We compared two versions of treatment: two- and one-stage. Patients of the first group (30 patients) received elimination therapy for 3 to 5 days with the following peaty mud application, current of supersonic frequency, massage, inhalations, physical therapy. Patients of the second group (36 patients) did not receive elimination therapy. We have found a decrease in intensity of clinical implications of the primary and associated diseases, decrease in inflammation activity, better nasal and bronchial носовой patency, improvement of the mucociliary function in patients of the first group. In the second group, the recovery of the surface epithelium and nasal patency was not observed against the background of improvement of the clinical state.
