The peak incidence of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is between 2 and 4 months of age. Its pathology is extremely heterogenous, infection, hypoxia and many others factors are all implicated. We examine here the possible relation between SIDS and Apparent Life Threatening Event (ALTE). We describe 14 cases that we have observed to establish a primary connection between these two situations and to identify a risk-group for an accurate follow-up.
