Abstract

Previous studies have reported that respiratory infections can cause sudden death in infants. In one report, many infants had mild respiratory infection symptoms before their sudden death. However, we have also seen many cases of sudden death in asymptomatic infants who were diagnosed with respiratory infections based on detailed postmortem examinations. However, no study has investigated the differences between symptomatic death and asymptomatic death in infants with respiratory infections. In the present study, the risk factors for sudden death in infants with asymptomatic antemortem respiratory infections were investigated using forensic autopsy cases in our laboratory. The investigation showed that deaths associated with asymptomatic respiratory infections were relatively more common in infants younger than one year, of normal birth weight, and fed exclusively with formula milk, as well as infants who had fallen asleep within one hour of their last meal. The results reconfirmed that such small daily changes, such as expression and behavior changes, should be carefully observed when managing infants, including those with no apparent health problems.

婴儿无症状呼吸道感染致猝死的调查。
以前的研究报告呼吸道感染可导致婴儿猝死。在一份报告中,许多婴儿在猝死前有轻微的呼吸道感染症状。然而,我们也见过许多无症状婴儿猝死的病例,这些婴儿是根据详细的尸检诊断为呼吸道感染的。然而,没有研究调查呼吸道感染婴儿的症状性死亡和无症状性死亡之间的差异。在本研究中,我们利用法医尸检病例调查无症状死前呼吸道感染婴儿猝死的危险因素。调查显示,与无症状呼吸道感染相关的死亡在一岁以下、出生体重正常、完全用配方奶喂养的婴儿以及在最后一餐后一小时内入睡的婴儿中相对更为常见。结果再次证实,在管理婴儿时,包括那些没有明显健康问题的婴儿,应该仔细观察诸如表情和行为变化之类的微小日常变化。
