In this paper we assess the efficiency of sanatorium treatment of patients with bronchial asthma of two different weigh groups: with normal body weight and obesity. According to the results of clinical examination it was found that in patients with bronchial asthma and obesity of I-II degree efficiency of sanatorium treatment is lower in comparison with patients with bronchial asthma and normal body weight. The use of a standard set of procedures is not enough to correct the symptoms of asthma in obese patients. Comparative analysis of clinical symptoms in patients with bronchial asthma with normal body weight and obesity were differences of up to 50%. The conclusion about the need to develop a set of techniques to optimize the effectiveness of rehabilitation is given.
