“…A further publication on elevated sodium values and uremia as unexpected cause of death in children is from Emery et al [16]. Among 40 cases reported by Emery et al, two fulfil the criteria for dehydration pattern according to Coe.…”

“…In most cases, a complete biochemical profile according to the dehydration pattern was not available. Chloride values were missing in the reports of Huser and Smialek [23] and Emery et al [16]. If mean values and standard deviations of these 16 cases are calculated and compared to the normal values published by Coe [4] and they are compared to the reference cases, statistically significant elevations of the analytes of the dehydration cases are of course evident (Fig.…”

“…In particular, hypersensitivity, with anaphylactic reaction to cow's milk, has been dis-9-772872 cussed for many years (8, 9,19,27,28,29,37,39). Recently, a hypothesis of high solute feeding and its relation to SIDS has received attention (14,26,30).…”

131 cases of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the municipality of Copenhagen 1956--71 (incidence 0.92 SIDS cases per 1 000 live births) were investigated on the basis of police reports and infant health visitor's records. Fewer SIDS cases were breast-fed than controls from the second week of life to four months of age. No significant differences were found with respect to the concentrations of fresh cow's milk dilutions, age at introduction of solid food, or number of meals per day. From 1956 to 1971 breast-feeding was declining and solids introduced earlier, while the incidence of SIDS remained constant. The lifespan for SIDS cases who had never been breast-fed was equal to that of cases who had. There is no evidence that SIDS victims had their first solid food during the last days of life. The results are discussed in the light of the hypersensitivity, immuno-incompetence, and high solute feeding hypotheses. It is concluded that feeding does not seem to be responsible for the occurrence of SIDS. The lower frequency of breast-feeding among SIDS cases is ascribed to various factors known to be associated with SIDS.

“…The first hint of it may have been in post-mortem studies in the 1970s. 3 Salt poisoning, given the risks of that eventuality itself, as well as the necessary therapy to return the sodium level to normal constitutes a medical emergency.…”
