Reye’s Syndrome and Aspirin
Reye’s syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition
that, affects the brain and liver. Children and adolescents who
are taking aspirin and are also infected with a virus such as
that which causes influenza or varicella zoster (virus that
causes chickenpox) are at highest risk for this condition.
Symptoms occur suddenly, and include confusion, vomiting,
weakness, and seizures. Other symptoms may include diffi
culty speaking, and loss of muscle function. Swelling of the
brain and liver failure can result, and the condition may prog
ress to a coma.
Reye’s syndrome is not too common because aspirin is now
usually avoided during a viral illness in children as a precau
tion. Aspirin and other medications available over-the-counter
that contain salicylates, such as bismuth salicylate (Pepto-
Bismol and Kaopectate), should not be given to children who
may be infected with a virus, such as a child with a cold or
fever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol!) is preferred over aspirin if a
medication is needed to relieve pain or fever in a child.
Although the condition is rare, if it does occur, treatments are
available. A steroid may be given to decrease brain swelling,
fluids may be administered intravenously, and oxygen may be
supplemented. Glucose may also need to be supplemented if
low blood sugar occurs.
