In tempered countries, higher sudden infant death rates are observed during winters, which is in favor of an infectious factor in the etiology. According to the geographic regions, the rates of SIDS are showing a downward gradient from the north of France to the south. In an attempt to assess the infectious hypothesis, we carried out a research about space-time clusters of Sudden infant deaths. The Knox's méthode was used with data of the medical causes of death registered in France from 1981-82 to 1985-86, by areas. Clusters were found in several regions, but they are moving from one year to another. The interpretation of these findings remains difficult because of the large number of tests.
在气候温和的国家，冬季观察到较高的婴儿猝死率，这支持病因中有感染因素的观点。根据地理区域划分，法国从北部到南部，婴儿猝死综合征的发生率呈下降梯度。为了评估感染假说，我们对婴儿猝死的时空聚集情况进行了一项研究。我们采用诺克斯法，利用1981 - 1982年至1985 - 1986年法国按地区登记的死亡医学原因数据。在几个地区发现了聚集情况，但每年都在变化。由于测试数量众多，对这些发现的解释仍然困难。
