Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS) represents a major leading cause of death among all racial and ethnic groups of infants between one month to one year of age. The exact cause of such death is unfortunately unknown, but there are multiple possibilities for that: cardiovascular abnormalities, suffocation and infectious causes.
