摘要

Background

Sudden Infant death syndrome (SIDS) refers to the unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant. Even after examining the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, conducting a full autopsy, performing further tests, and reviewing the deceased child’s medical history, the cause of death remains unexplained.

Objective

The aim of this review article is to summarize the current knowledge on the role of cytokines in the development of SIDS.

Results

Numerous studies show that a dysregulated level of cytokines plays a major role in infants who die from SIDS.

Conclusion

A detailed examination of the immune system and the factors involved, such as cytokines or immune cells, is essential when investigating SIDS cases.
