Abstract

We compared the frequency of Pneumocystis in 126 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases with a control group of 24 infants from the San Diego SIDS/SUDC Research Project who died of accidental or inflicted injuries. Cysts were identified in 33% of SIDS cases and 29% of controls. We conclude that Pneumocystis is not a direct cause of SIDS. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
