ALTE: Alte (apparent life threatening event) is an acute, unexpected change in an infant's breathing behavior associated with apnea( no respiratory effort ), color change ( cyanotic or pallid), marked change in muscle tone & choking. Only half of the cases, cause (s) is found, e.g., gastroesophageal reflux, seizure. There is no causal relationship between alte and sudden infant death syndrome.
