To study the association of blood lipids with the development, clinical stage, allergic condition, and pulmonary function of asthma. A total of 56 children with asthma who attended the hospital between October 2016 and March 2017 were enrolled as the asthma group, and 46 children who underwent physical examination as the healthy control group. According to the clinical manifestations, the children with asthma were divided into acute exacerbation group (n=24) and chronic persistent group (n=32). According to the results of skin prick test (SPT) and serum IgE measurement, the children with asthma were divided into non-allergic asthma group (n=16) and allergic asthma group (n=38). Fasting blood lipid levels were measured in both asthma and control groups. Pulmonary function tests were performed for asthmatic children. There were no significant differences in blood lipid levels between the asthma and control groups (P>0.05). The acute exacerbation group had significantly lower serum levels of high-density lipopro
