โœฆ Synopsis

The selenium Ieveis in plasma and whole blood sampIes from confirmed sudden infant death (SID) victims, normal infants, adults, and full term mothers, as well ss pkuna vitamin E levels in SID victims and normaI adults, have been determined. The SID plasma vitamiu E levels are low but stii comparable to published values for normal and premature infants. The selenium levels of SID whole blood aud plasma are also significantly lower than normal adult values, but nearly_identical to those of infant controls. Although these results do not confirm the hypothesis that vitamin E and/or selenium deficiency hss a primary role in the etiolom of SID, their low Ievels in infants merits further attention as a possible secondary factor in the etiology of SID and e a general problem in infant nutrition and health.
