Key Words	Children; Asthma; Zinc; Ferritin
Core Tip	Serum zinc levels were higher in asthmatic children than in nonasthmatic children. However, the difference was not significant. Serum ferritin levels were significantly higher in asthmatic children, which may be due to its immunosuppressive properties. Serum ferritin should not be considered in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia in asthmatic children. Serum immunoglobulin E should not be applied to diagnose the severity of childhood asthma. Further studies that track biomarkers such as ferritin during asthma progression are needed.
