The seasonal dynamics of airway patency and reactivity in patients with bronchial asthma under monsoon climate conditions
Abstract
The dynamic examination of 85 patients with bronchial asthma was carried out to find out the characteristics of seasonal impact of weather conditions on airway patency and reactivity under monsoon climate of Sakhalin. Over a year a daily peakflowmeter measurements as well as bronchodilation test was done in the morn‑ ing and in the evening. The correlation of peak expiratory flow and its changes under bronchodilator influence from temperature and air moisture depending on disease severity and season of the year was established. Minute and signal response types of airway patency and reactivity were singled out, and they should be taken into account at bronchial asthma diagnose according to weather pattern.
