Description
Summary:Study objective: To exam the effect of asthma on- coagulation pathway.
 Methods: Case control study with 73 asthmatic pagtients at different age.
 Results: We show that PIT in asthmatic patients is longer than in control group (P < 0.0001). We found no associated between PIT and age or sex in case and control group.
 Conclusion: One explanation for PIT is prolongation in asthmatic patients is presented by the increase level of endogen or heparin like molecules.
