To the Editor.— Guilleminault et al1 mentioned the case of a child with near-miss sudden infant death syndrome who had an abnormally long uvula and who eventually underwent uvulotomy. When interviewing the Moroccan parents of an infant who died suddenly while asleep at age 2 months, we learned that sudden infant death syndrome had been known for years in Morocco. It was well known, too, that infants who eventually were victims of sudden infant death syndrome had often had hypersialorrhea, snoring, coughing, and regurgitation since the first days of life.
