Abstract :

Background & Methods: In our study we have 50 patients, matured 10-65 years, with asthma in moderate or serious stages, and whereas 25 healthy controls. Asthma is a multifactorial infection and its seriousness fluctuates with the incendiary evaluation. The subjects of serum concentration of Zn, Cu, and Mg were estimated by means of semiautoanalyser after data findings & clinical assessments at Saraswati Medical College, Unnao, U.P. Results: 25 Healthy cases 44% are Males whereas 56% are Females, & in patient category 48% were males & 52% were females. The Mean levels of Serum Mean & SD of Magnesium concentration of patients was 131.5 ± 24.7 mg/L where as Healthy were 131.3 ± 19.3 mg/L. Mean & SD of Copper concentration of patients was 1021.9 ± 188 mg/L same Mean value with healthy were 1021.9 ± 188 mg/L. Mean & SD of Zinc concentration of patients was 1013 ± 178 mg/L where as Healthy were 957 ± 284 mg/L. Zn & Mg in patients among allergic asthma were lesser as compared than in the healthy control group Conclusions: In our study we found the Low levels of trace elements, mainly Zn, may have a important role to play in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, meanwhile the substitution of these elements may be a useful asthma patients treatment.
