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.
对72例不明原因婴儿猝死病例和34例死因明确的病例进行病毒分离检测,结果显示分别有42%和29%的病例存在病毒感染。检测到多种病毒,主要是肠道病毒和腺病毒,大多来自肠道标本。这些发现并不表明严重的病毒感染是婴儿猝死的常见特征。
