The finding of Drs. Cloutier and Stickler that 3 of 15 children (20%) with idiopathic hypopituitarism and normal intelligence had head circumference measurements of less than -2 S.D. was most interesting. Since my own experience with hypopituitary dwarfs was limited, additional data was obtained from Dr. Thomas Aceto, Jr., of the Children's Hospital of Buffalo, Sew York, and Dr. John D. Crawford of the Children's Service of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

To the Editor.— Our residency's journal club recently reviewed your October issue and the article on management of febrile illness.1 We found it to be misleading and inconclusive for the following reasons. First, the study presented itself as a comparison of the management of fever in children by pediatricians and "general practitioners." Based on introductory statements the term "general practitioner" implies family physician, but this is not clearly stated. As the article progresses, we find the data collected are based on experience in emergency rooms at a children's hospital v a "general" hospital, each staffed by residents or interns.

Rare Diagnosis

Celiac disease is now a rare diagnosis in the United States. The incidence of celiac disease varies from 1 in 6,500 in Sweden1 to 1 in 890 in Switzerland.2 At the Melbourne Children's Hospital in Australia, Townley3 reported seeing 90 new patients with celiac disease in a four-year interval, with an almost equal incidence of newly diagnosed cases of celiac and cystic fibrosis per year. At the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago we now see 20 new cases of cystic fibrosis compared to three new celiac cases per year, despite performing intestinal biopsies in all suspected cases of celiac disease.
