Зв'язок між психологічним профілем та кількістю озинофілів крові при бронхіальній астмі

Abstract

In mild asthma patients, normal number of blood eozinophils was linked with higher ММРІ scale scores (versus mild asthma patients with eozinophilia), what саn indicate the psychosomatic nature of the disease in these patients. In moderate asthma patients, the higher eozinophils count was linked with higher ММРІ scores on the personality scales reflecting depression, anxiety, and social introversion. We concluded that these psychological features may contribute to more severe course of asthma.
