Reye syndrome - what does this mean
Reye syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that can occur in children and teenagers after a viral infection, most commonly the flu or chickenpox. it is characterized by swelling in the liver and brain, which can lead to seizures, coma, and even death.
What happens during the disease - reye syndrome
Reye syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that affects the liver and brain. it is thought to be caused by an accumulation of fatty acids in the liver, which is triggered by a viral infection or an overdose of aspirin. this accumulation of fatty acids results in swelling and inflammation of the liver, which can cause a disruption of the normal metabolic processes in the body. this disruption can lead to a buildup of toxic substances in the brain, resulting in a variety of neurological symptoms.
