| What is Reye Syndrome?
====================
Reye syndrome (often referred to as Reye’s syndrome) is a rare but very serious illness that usually occurs in children younger than fifteen years of age. It can affect all organs of the body, but most often injures the brain and the liver. Reye syndrome is preceded by a viral infection, most commonly chickenpox or influenza. Although no one knows precisely what causes Reye syndrome, it affects only a small number of children, and is strongly associated with aspirin or aspirin-containing medication during the viral infection. Children may develop a viral infection, such as influenza, an upper respiratory illness, or #chickenpox, and then seem to be improving. However, then they abruptly starts to vomit repeatedly and frequently every one or two hours over a twenty-four to thirty-six-hour period, becoming lethargic or sleepy, which then turns into agitation, delirium, or anger. Then they may become confused or even become unresponsive. If the disease progresses, there is a strong chance they will have seizures and go into a deep coma.
