A study was done to investigate the relationship between the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and epidemic respiratory viral disease among hospitalized children under 18 months of age. During the 42 month-period of this study, there were 778 sudden infant deaths in Chicago and 3244 hospital admissions of children under 18 months for respiratory disease. Four outbreaks of respiratory syncytial (RS) virus infections, three outbreaks of influenza A virus infections, and several small clusters of parainfluenza virus infections occurred during the course of this study. Influenza A was the only virus infection found to have a statistically significant association with SIDS. Although environmental temperature was also significantly correlated with SIDS, the association with influenza A virus infection was independent of this temperature effect and neither association was strong.
一项研究旨在调查18个月以下住院儿童的婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）与流行性呼吸道病毒疾病之间的关系。在本研究的42个月期间，芝加哥有778例婴儿猝死，18个月以下儿童因呼吸道疾病入院3244例。在本研究过程中，发生了4次呼吸道合胞（RS）病毒感染暴发、3次甲型流感病毒感染暴发以及几小群副流感病毒感染。仅发现甲型流感病毒感染与SIDS存在统计学显著关联。虽然环境温度也与SIDS显著相关，但与甲型流感病毒感染的关联独立于这种温度效应，且两种关联都不强。
