Mátra hospitals is the only sub-alpine air medical institution in our country where in treatment of the The asthma of all ages is a serious public health challenge asthmatics, COPD patients and hay fever patients climate worldwide. Asthma is the 25th reason included in the impacts were added to the medicinal and the movement- Disability Adjusted Life Years ranking in 2001, prevalence therapy treatments good results have been achieved in and quality of life and the impact of health spending under improving the quality of the patients’ life and their needs of considerable pressure and gives the task of doctors working medicine.

The clean air, dust and pollen free environment are extremely Determining the prevalence of asthma in a wide favourable conditions for the health institution. These are repertoire of domestic literature (Nagy et al., 1997; Mora, also favourable conditions for the use of respiratory diseases, 1998; Gönczi, 1998; Páll et al., 2001; Virágh, 2004). as they are popular practice spots for cure-terraces, Terra Hungary, a significant increase in asthma over the last few years. In 2005, 196 thousand were number of asthmatics registered in the network of lung clinic and while it was only 78 thousand based on historical data 10 years ago (Somfay, 2007). Literature review

In the main study, 113 (male n = 19, female n = 94 Previous studies (Müller-Kerenyi, 2009), performed by persons) respiratory patients were participated who had been the Medical Mátrai treated 50 patients with asthma, allergy and COPD showed that after the first month of the treatment questionnaire was filled out by every fifth patient, who were of the examined patients’ suffering the 3 types of desease treated asthma, rhinitis or COPD disease from September of needed significantly less medicine, than a half year later.

The most commonly occurring respiratory disease was the asthma then What factors affect patients to choose institutions? the COPD and the lowest the hay fever patients. In the sample 14 people were particapeted who have asthma and COPD disease together, 35 people had allergic asthma accompanied hay fever and the 4 people main who had After hospitalize asthma, allergy and COPD patients COPD disease and hay fever were at a time.

Discussion
In the chart, can be observed that after the hospital treatment in the first month in almost all activities, the improvements in the last few years. Today, the inflammatory average low is between 0 and 1, which means that patients in nature of asthma proven and accepted fact. Therefore the the hospital treatment after the first month the illness were steroid-contained antiphlogistics play important role in the not or only slightly limited in the everyday activities and treatment of asthma. These drugs are very expensive and it work.6 months later, the averages have increased, which sets a significant burden on individuals and society as well, indicates the reduction of the impact of the treatment and because of the growing number of asthmatics.
