Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a subgroup of unexpected infant deaths that occur during the postneonatal period with relatively consistent clinical, epidemiological, and pathological features. SIDS remains the major cause of death in infants aged between 1 week and 1 year in western countries. ⋯ Avoidable risk factors such as those associated with inappropriate infants' sleeping position, type of bedding used and sleeping arrangements strongly suggest a basis for further substantial reductions in SIDS incidence rates. The current guidelines for reducing the risk of SIDS are presented.

Spleen is a rare extra-pulmonary tuberculosis manifestation. The spleen tuberculosis is caused by the blood derivative dissemination of mycobacteria. The symptoms can suggest a hematological disease, but it is difficult to make a diagnosis, especially when there are no pulmonary changes. ⋯ The splenectomy revealed in a histopathologic examination productiva caseosa tuberculosis. The bone marrow trepanobiopsy revealed as well tuberculosis changes. The antimycobacteria treatment caused an improvement of the clinical state and the regression of symptoms.
