Clinico-epidemiological analysis has been performed to reveal exogenic and endogenic riskfactors of community acquired pneumonia military servicemen at conscription. Riskfactors of CAP at conscription include smoking, overcooling, chronic infection foci, preceding ARVI, and the first-half-year of service. The residual effects after CAP in military servicemen predominantly are the obstructive disorders of outer respiratory function as well as radiological symptoms as deformity of pulmonary picture and pleural overlay. The educational scheme has been developed for CAP patients. No recurrent infections of the upper and lower respiratory passageways have occurred during the following years of military service in patients under the follow-up care.
