Sweat tests [letter].

I agree that sweat tests are frequently not performed reliably, but I 
wonder why the clinical chemist has been singled out as being 
responsible when most hospital laboratories are still directed by pathologists and 
not by professional clinical chemists. In addition to our laboratory, I 
know of many other hospital clinical chemistry laboratories in which the 
test is being performed properly. Furthermore, the Pediatric Committee of the 
American Association for Clinical Chemistry is working on a review article 
for the journal, Clinical Chemistry, regarding the correct way the sweat 
test should be run. Clearly, clinical chemists do not "lack interest."
