“Delayed” sudden infant death syndrome

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1983
Four cases of "delayed" sudden infant death are described in infants, who were found lifeless and were resuscitated, but did not regain consciousness. Circulatory failure occurred 20-48 hours later. In these cases, one could expect an accentuation of such lesions which might have caused the collapse.

Endotoxemia in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1994
Endotoxemia has been proposed as a significant cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

The controls were < 1 year of age and had died suddenly and unexpectedly of infection, abuse, suffocation, blunt injury, or fire and smoke ...

Sudden infant death syndrome (crib death)

American Heart Journal, 1977
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is diagnosed by the absence of lethal autopsy findings, or in a resuscitatable, "near miss" form with cyanosis, apnea, and bradycardia. The event is unexpected, although a minor respiratory infection is common, and occurs during sleep, between 1 and 6 months of age. There is growing evidence that the victims have had
