I am grateful for your comments regarding our article "Chest Pain in Children: A Prospective Study." Two of the 43 children in that study had a history suggestive of gastrointestinal dysfunction and appropriate studies, including upper gastrointestinal contrast series and screening for occult blood in the stool, were done. Evidence for ulcers, esophagitis, or gastric reflux was not found in either patient. We did not intend to imply a psychogenic origin for idiopathic chest pain.

In a prospective study of children with the primary complaint of chest pain, 43 patients were identified. This gave an occurrence (per patient visits) of 0.288%. The average age was 12.9 years for boys and 11.80 years for girls. Diagnostic categories identified were idiopathic chest pain (45%), costochondritis (22.5%), chest pain secondary to bronchitis (12.5%), miscellaneous (10%), chest pain secondary to muscle strain (5%), and chest pain secondary to trauma (5%). These six categories are discussed in terms of age, sex, resolution of symptoms, duration of the complaint, return for follow-up examination, quality of pain, psychiatric profile, and results of laboratories studies. It is concluded that chest pain in children is not as ominous a symptom as it is in adults, and that it infrequently signals underlying cardiac disease or other serious disease that is not apparent from a thorough history and physical examination.
