N2  - Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory disease in childhood and some reports have demonstrated systemic inflammation. The relevance of high sensitivity assays for C- reactive protein (Hs - CRP), which are known to be a sensitive marker of low - grade systemic inflammation, has not been fully studied in childhood asthma. This cross sectional case{u2013}control study aimed at evaluating serum Hs - CRP in two groups of asthmatic children, steroid inhaling and steroid naive patients with special emphasis on the relation of measured parameter to different clinical (severity, smoking, family history, other atopic manifestations) and laboratory data (IgE - peripheral blood eosinophil count) and pulmonary function tests. Ninety eight asthmatic children aged 2yr to 12yr and matched control group of 38 children were recruited for the present study
