In the last five years there have been literally hundreds of articles in the world's medical literature regarding sudden infant death syndrome. This work has shed some light on various epidemiologic aspects of the problem, on pathologic anatomy, and on clinical issues such as the relative importance of spontaneous, protracted, idiopathic apnea and prolongation of the Q-T interval. This relatively comprehensive review treats only a limited number of these subjects and publications in an attempt to bring the reader more or less up-to-date on the major aspects of developments over the last five years.
