Abstract
The aim of this study was to study levels of HSP 70 in the Egyptian children with acute asthma. The study was conducted in pediatrics hospital at Cairo university, 40 acute asthmatic children were compared to 40 healthy children as a control group. The results were as follows: Serum HSP70 levels were significantly higher in acute asthmatic children compared to normal controls (p=0.022). There were no significant differences in HSP70 levels between groups of mild, moderate or severe acute asthma attacks (p=0.557). There were no significant correlations between serum HSP70 and degree of respiratory distress or the grade of acute asthma. Serum HSP70 had a sensitivity of 60% and specificity of 70% in diagnosing acute asthma in children
