Virological studies of sudden, unexplained infant deaths in Glasgow 1967-70

G E Urquhart et al. J Clin Pathol. 1972 May.

Abstract

Virus isolation tests on 72 sudden unexplained infant deaths and 34 cases of explained death showed that 42 and 29% respectively had virus infections. A wide range of viruses was encountered, mainly enteroviruses and adenoviruses, mostly from bowel specimens. The findings did not suggest that overwhelming virus infection was a common feature of sudden death in infancy.
