ABSTRACT
Infections are a frequent cause of apnea in infants, involving both respiratory and extrarrespiratory systems. In the first group we find upper respiratory infections and lower respiratory infections caused by virus or bacteria such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Parainfluenza and Bordetella pertussis; in the second group urinary tract infections and severe infections such as meningitis and sepsis are of importance. In this article we analyze different causes of infections attributed to apnea, taking into account existing literature at the time.
