Abstract

A term baby underwent unexpected, fatal resuscitation in the delivery room. The mother suffered from a common cold during her last trimester of pregnancy. All other examinations throughout gestation were normal. Despite immediate, extended and effective resuscitation, heart rate did not exceed 15-20 beats/minute. In the autopsy, fetal myocarditis due to influenza A infection was detected.
