Reyes Syndrome
Reyes Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that usually affects children between the ages of four and fourteen, and is associated with the consumption of aspirin. It is characterized by severe inflammation of the liver, brain and other organs, leading to fever, vomiting, mental confusion, sudden coma, and in some cases, death. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in preventing life-threatening complications from Reyes Syndrome, which is why it is important to seek medical assistance as soon as any of its symptoms are noticed. Treatment typically consists of providing medical care and limiting the use of medications containing aspirin. Research is ongoing to understand the cause and seek better treatments for Reyes Syndrome.
