Four children, including three infants, who died suddenly and unexpectedly are described. In three of the cases group A beta haemolytic streptococcus was cultured and in the fourth Streptococcus pneumoniae. The organism was grown from multiple sites including blood in two of them. Without microbiological investigation the diagnosis would have been sudden unexpected death syndrome.
本文描述了4名儿童（包括3名婴儿）的突然意外死亡情况。其中3例培养出A组β溶血性链球菌，第4例培养出肺炎链球菌。在其中2例中，该微生物从包括血液在内的多个部位培养出来。若没有微生物学调查，诊断结果会是猝死综合征。
