title: [Detection of eosinophilic cationic protein in the lungs in sudden infant death].
abstract: In a comparative study the authors detected presence of eosinophilic protein in infant's lung at sudden death. Degranulation of eosinophillic leucocytes and extracellular foci of this protein were found in a case of such sudden death. Discussion concerned possibility that the release of eosinophilic cationic protein could represent one of the triggering moments of infant sudden death.
