[Comparative study of the effect of intal and zaditen in patients with atopic bronchial asthma at Sandanski health resort].

Forty patients with atopic bronchial asthma were studied, aged from 16 to 54 (average age 34,4 years), with a duration of the disease from 1 to 22 years (average duration 10,8 years). The patients studied were divided into two groups of 20 patients each, treated with intal and zaditen respectively, in the course of 3 months, under the conditions of Sandanski resort. The study of the three month experiment revealed excellent and very good effect in 80 per cent of the patients with atopic bronchial asthma, both with intal and zaditen, started during an incomplete clinical remission. The treatment with both preparations proved to be effective in the patients with a concomitant corticosteroid treatment. The better results obtained by us as compared with similar studies are due to the established potent sanative mechanisms of climate therapy at Sandanski resort, with a gained reputation as a resort for the treatment of allergic respiratory diseases.
