研究了突然意外死亡儿童肺部的组织学外观与尸检时发现的病毒的关系。对51名儿童进行了调查，其中33名儿童的肺部组织学表现被广泛认为是以前称为“婴儿猝死”的特征。16例具有淋巴细胞性细支气管炎的组织学外观，仅从该组中分离出病毒。分离出的病毒与呼吸道感染有关。2例患者表现为细菌性支气管肺炎的组织学表现。病毒可能是造成婴儿期意外猝死的主要原因。
The histological appearance of lungs of children whose death had been sudden and unexpected has been studied in relation with the viruses found at necropsy. Fifty-one children were investigated and in 33 the lungs had the histological appearance widely accepted as characteristic of the condition previously termed “cot death.” Sixteen had the histological appearance of lymphocytic bronchiolitis, and it was from this group only that viruses were isolated. The viruses isolated were those associated with respiratory infections. Two patients showed the histological appearance of bacterial bronchopneumonia. Viruses are probably responsible for a substantial proportion of unexpected sudden deaths in infancy.
