Comparative Study
[Differences in severity and comorbidity of panic and depressive symptoms in difficult and aspirin-induced asthma].
The author examined psychiatrically a group of 106 patients with difficult asthma and 100 patients with aspirin-induced asthma. ⋯ It is possible that especially severe panic and depressive symptoms both with panic-depression comorbidity in women and men with difficult asthma have an impact on aethiology of this near-fatal and treatment resistant subtype of asthma.

To pay attention to the role of stress connected with delivery, obstetric history, as to the pathologies in the infant as predictors of dissociative disturbances in the patient of the maternity ward. ⋯ The interaction of past and present traumatic experiences with cognitive dysfunctions and immature defence mechanisms could influence the patient's ability to cope with fear about the child negatively. It led consequently to dissociative loss of memory with disintegration of perception, identity, and conscious control over the behaviour in the fugue. The case shows a need for early diagnosing and providing psychological support to patients of the maternity ward, especially those laden with multiple stress factors.

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 the intensity of catastrophic interpretation of body sensations and it's specific links with severity of symptoms of panic disorder and depression in women and men from both groups. ⋯ It is possible that differences in the intensity of catastrophic interpretation of body sensations used by women and men with difficult asthma affect the development, course and severity of their panic and depressive symptoms. This may play a special role in development of difficult asthma phenomenon.

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.
