Abstract:I am not sure that Lewak's theme1 is borne out by his case description. Despite the absence of findings at autopsy, it is difficult for me to think of this infant as being a victim of sudden infant death syndrome. As a matter of fact, I would respectfully suggest that this baby had pertussis. This would certainly not be an unusual mode of death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
