Abstract
Until a generally accepted basis for the sudden infant death syndrome is found, this condition will remain a fertile field for speculation. In a recent review,1 73 theories to account for this condition were enumerated, and since then the list has grown to well over 100. Some of these are the productions of misguided zealots who attach their pet biases like so many leeches to new or poorly understood afflictions of mankind. Generally this is quite a harmless activity, unless such theories are given undue credence by the lay press or by professionals involved in the counseling of SIDS families.
