Letters to the Editor: Kounis syndrome: A forgotten cause of chest pain/ Cardiac chest pain in children

I read with interest the article “Cardiac chest pain in children” by Çağdaş et al. (1) which has retrospectively evaluated 120 children admitted to a pediatric cardiology clinic with chest pain. Although chest pain in children is rarely reported to be associated with cardiac diseases in the literature (2) authors have found that 52 of the patients (42.5%) had cardiac diseases and 28 (23.3%) of these patients’ cardiac diseases were thought to directly cause their chest pain. These higher ratios may result experience of a tertiary referral centre. Although a variety of diseases is described as the causes of the chest pain in the present study, I want to remind a forgotten cause of chest pain in children.
