The author examined psychiatrically a group of 106 patients with difficult asthma and 100 patients with aspirin-induced asthma. The special interest of the study were differences in sense of coherence in both groups and it's links with severity of panic and depressive symptoms in subgroups of asthmatic women and men. ⋯ It is possible that differences of coherence affect the development, course and severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms in asthmatic women and men. It may play a special role in development of difficult asthma especially among women.
