Gastroesophageal reflux can be found in patients with respiratory tract disease even in the absence of vomiting. A manometric and pH-metric study carried out in 69 children with radiologic reflux (of whom 49 had respiratory symptoms) and 10 normal controls has shown: 1. lower esophageal sphincter pressure was lower in refluxing patients than in controls, but values were significant only for those with vomiting; 2. all parameters of prolonged esophageal pH-metry indicating reflux were very significantly abnormal in the group of respiratory patients who were by this respect very similar to vomiting refluxers; 3. nevertheless, one fourth to one third of these patients were manometrically and pH-metrically normal. These data confirm that there is a relationship between gastroesophageal reflux and bronchopulmonary disease. A widening of the field of antireflux therapy can be predicted for the near future, although a further definition of the indications is necessary.
