SummaryIn some cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) the intestinal flora was found to be dominated byCandida albicans. Microbiologic investigations of the various organs showed the occasional presence of different Candida species, but not in the form of massive growth as in sepsis. There is no basis to assume that the activity of yeasts, first of all ofCandida albicans, is a contributory factor in the occurrence of SIDS.
Candida albicans was shown to produce alcohol from glucose at a…

Toxicological analysis of specimens from the autopsy of a child aged 14 months displayed a high concentration of ethanol in blood and tissues, and the determination of specific metabolites of ethanol such as ethyl glucuronide (EtG) may be performed to discriminate between exogenous (ante-mortem) and endogenous (post-mortem).
