Letter to the Editor
1 Chairman, Committee on Infectious Diseases, University of Arizona, Health Sciences Center, Tucson, AZ 85724
In response to your thoughtful comment and criticism of the statement by Committee on Infectious Diseases, "Aspirin and Reye Syndrome" (Pediatrics 69:810, 1982), the Committee deliberated at two committee meetings and by two conference calls concerning this issue before we issued our statement. Further, we had the statement reviewed by the Committee on Drugs and the Executive Committee of the Academy, both of which forwarded comments to us. The statement was extensively edited in the process.
