Post-mortem bacteriological examination is of great importance, but it should be stressed that post-mortem investigations in every case of sudden unexpected death in infancy should primarily focus on the possibility of pathological findings in the brainstem and the cardiovascular system. Based on careful evaluation of recent anatomo-pathological studies on sudden unexpected death in infancy, there is now sound evidence to rely on for a new approach to this thorny problem.

Abstract

Post-mortem bacteriological examination is of great importance, but it should be stressed that post-mortem investigations in every case of sudden unexpected death in infancy should primarily focus on the possibility of pathological findings in the brainstem and the cardiovascular system. Based on careful evaluation of recent anatomo-pathological studies on sudden unexpected death in infancy, there is now sound evidence to rely on for a new approach to this thorny problem.
