婴儿摇篮死亡或婴儿猝死综合征(SIDS)仍是婴儿死亡率的一个主要原因。此综合征的病因仍不清楚;但墨尔本的Williams、Uren和Bretherton医师最近的研究有力地表明此病与呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)有关。这几位研究人员对763名死于SIDS的婴儿进行了研究,并且将他们的尸检结果与56名死于意外事故对照组的婴儿进行了比较。
Baby cradle death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) remains a leading cause of infant mortality. The etiology of the syndrome remains unknown; however, recent studies by physicians Williams, Uren and Bretherton in Melbourne have strongly suggested that the disease is associated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The researchers studied 763 infants who died of SIDS and compared their autopsy findings to 56 infants who died in the accidental control group.
