<br/><br/> Asthma  is  a  common  disease  in  children.  This  study  was  conducted  at University Children's Hospital of Cairo University. It included 120 Egyptian  asthmatic children. sixty of them were stable  asthma  and  60  were  acute  asthma, along with 60 healthy matched children were included as controls. Clinical examination, full blood picture and serum level of YKL -40 were done. YKL-40 was significantly higher in patients compared to controls (p-value < 0.001). Serum YKL-40 was significantly higher in acute asthmatics compared to stable asthmatics. The study concludes that YKL -40 might play a role in pediatric asthma
