title: [Neurotransmission and sudden infant death. Study of cerebrospinal fluid].
abstract: The study of 33 cerebrospinal fluids of infants victims of sudden death shows a very significant increase of the metabolites of dopamine and serotonin. These determinations, compared to a control group, indicate a failure, concerning these two neurotransmitters, which could induce a cardiorespiratory seizure. This failure has likely a multifactorial origin.
