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
