    Abstract:
    A monitoring of clinical and functional conditions in different types of weather was made in 123 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease living in North Kirghizia. It was found that unfavourable weather has a negative impact on clinical condition of the patients as well as their external respiration function. Parasympathetic effects enhance while pulmonary surfactant's activity weakens.
