Aim of investigation is establishment of the exhaling air condensate (EAC) pH alteration regularity in children with different level of a bronchial asthma control, assessed with a use of the ACQ day and week scales (Asthma Control Questionnaire).

Materials and Methods. The exhaling air condensate pH meanings (without deaeration and after the argonome deaeration) are analyzed in 55 children with different level of a bronchial asthma control, in a disease dynamics in part of them.

Results. The pH meaning differences in patients with different level of a bronchial asthma control are not revealed at investigation of the EAC pH without the argonome deaeration (p=0.76 — at assessment of a control level according to the ACQ day scale and p=0.48 — at assessment according to week ACQ scale). A progradient decrease of meanings with aggravation of a bronchial asthma control level, assessed according to the ACQ day scale (p=0.0001), is established at investigation of the EAC pH after the argonome deaeration.
