The purpose of this research was to study the changes of the macro- and microelement hair composition in children suffering from bronchial asthma (BA). A single-stage comprehensive examination of 162 children was carried out. The main group I consisted of 131 patients diagnosed with bronchial asthma, control group II – 31 children of I and IIa health groups. Determination of the of micro- and macroelements concentration in the children’s hair was done by X-ray fluorescence analysis. It was found that in patients with BA there are significant fluctuations in the parameters of macro- and microelements in the hair. Significant differences between the control group and the patients with asthma were registered in relation to such substances as calcium (Ca) (p=0.003), iron (Fe) (p<0.0001), nickel (Ni) (p<0.0001) and zinc (Zn) (p=0.0001).
