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.

A prospective study of fifty-two patients undergoing fibreoptic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was carried out in order to determine whether bacteraemia was a significant risk. Aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures were performed before, during and after endoscopy. Cultures were also taken from lesions (if any found) in the oesophagus, stomach or duodenum. No significant bacteraemia was identified, and bacterial growth was found in only one upper gastrointestinal lesion.
