In Reply.— The literature has been replete with discussions of cow's milk protein hypersensitivity relevant to its diagnosis as well as clinical patterns of presentation since the entity was initially described by M. Rubin 40 years ago. Drs Gilbertson and Bentley now suggest a comparatively simple diagnostic procedure for detecting cow's milk protein intolerance (hypersensitivity) by merely inspecting the rectal mucosa of the infant at risk. My criticism of their observations relates initially to the specificity of rectal mucosal vascularity changes, as well as to the pragmatic aspects of this diagnostic procedure.

To the Editor.— With regard to the diagnosis of cow's milk protein intolerance, we were interested by the findings of Kahn et al (Pediatrics 1985;76:880-884) and Dr Lecks' subsequent comments (Pediatrics 1986;78:378). A hitherto undescribed clinical feature that may contribute to the establishment of this diagnosis is the presence of hyperemia of the rectal mucosa in affected infants. Proctoscopy may readily be performed using a lubricated pediatric otoscope. The procedure is well tolerated, inexpensive, and takes only a few seconds.
