Reyes Syndrom Alert: Excerpts
from a National Reye's Syndrome
Foundation Bulletin.
Influenza (flu) is a viral infection
which has a deadly children's dis
ease associated with it. The disease,
Reyes Syndrome, affects children
from infancy to late teens. It can
develop 3-5 days after the onset of
Chicken Pox, a cold or other fever
causing illnesses. It affects the liver
and brain, is non-contagious and is
often misdiagnosed as encephalit
its, meningitis, diabetes, poisoning,
drug overdose, or sudden infant
death. Recent studies have shown a
link between the use of aspirin and
the development of Reye's
Syndrome.
Watch for these symptoms after
a viral infection has seemingly run
it's course:
Continous vomiting.
Drowsiness (excessive sleeping).
Delirium, convulsions or loss of
consciousness.
Combativeness (striking out at
those trying to help)
Listlessness (loss of pep and energy)-
Personality change (irritability,
slurred speech, sensitivity to touch).
Disorientation (unable to iden
tify whereabouts, family members,
or answer questions)'.'
Early diagnosis is imperative.
Phone physician immediately if these
symptoms develop and tell him her
you suspect Reye's Symdrome. If
the doctor is not available, take
your child to the emergency room.
There is a 90 percent chance of
recovery when the syndrome is
treated in its earliest stages. The
National Reye's Symdrome Foun
dation recommends that aspirin
(salicylate is another word for
aspirin) and combination products
containing aspirin should not be
given to children under 18 years of
age, during fever-causing illness.
