In Reply.— Harpey and Renault postulate a relationship between the uvula, obstructive sleep apnea, and sudden infant death syndrome. Although I believe that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may be one of the mechanisms leading to sudden infant death syndrome, this speculation is extremely controversial. I do concur with Harpey and Renault that obstructive sleep apnea can trigger esophageal reflux. A segment from a sleep recording of a 9-week-old, full-term infant with near-miss sudden infant death syndrome is presented in the Figure.

A Prospective Study

A relationship between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), sleep apnea, and upper airway infections has been reported. The present observation stresses the possible influence of phenothiazine-containing medications and the occurrence of SIDS. The drug is commonly used for the treatment of infants with nasopharyngitis in Belgium and in some other European countries. In a prospective study, 52 SIDS victims, 36 near miss infants, and 175 control infants were compared for the coexistence of nasopharyngitis and phenothiazine treatment in the days preceding death or hospitalization. The incidence of nasopharyngitis was comparable in the three groups (approximately 31%), but phenothiazines were used significantly more frequently in SIDS victims (23%) and near miss infants (22%) than in control subjects (2%). It is postulated that phenothiazines, as CNS depressors, may contribute to the occurrence of SIDS.

Polygraphic Recordings

Four infants with episodic silent complete obstructed apnea are described. All had central sleep apnea, three had hypoventilation, and none had obstructive apnea observed on polygraphic recordings. Two infants were siblings of a sudden infant death syndrome victim and one was a sibling of a "near miss" infant. One infant died as a result of a prolonged episode that began while she was awake. In two infants apnea has been controlled with theophylline administration and in the third infant resolution of the episode was temporally related to atropine administration.
