National Reye's Syndrome Foundation Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack any child or adult without warning. All body organs are affected, with the liver and brain suffering most seriously. While the cause and cure remain unknown, research has established a link between Reye's Syndrome and the use of aspirin and other salicylate-containing medications. In 1974, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation was incorporated, becoming the first citizen group to generate a concerted, organized lay movement to eradicate Reye's Syndrome. The Foundation's top objectives are: AWARENESS to aid in early detection and educate the public and medical communities about the risk involved with using aspirin and other salicylates. SERVICE to provide emotional support and guidance to families experiencing the trauma of Reye's Syndrome. RESEARCH to support investigation into the disease's cause, management, treatment and prevention, as well as study its impact on survivors.

Successful management, which depends on early diagnosis, is primarily aimed at protecting the brain against irreversible damage by reducing brain swelling, reversing the metabolic injury, preventing complications in the lungs, and anticipating cardiac arrest. It has been learned that several inborn errors of metabolism mimic RS in that the first manifestation of these errors may be an encephalopathy with liver dysfunction. These disorders must be considered in all suspected cases of RS. Some evidence suggests that treatment in the end stages of RS with hypertonic IV glucose solutions may prevent progression of the syndrome.

An acute encephalopathy characterized by fever, vomiting, fatty infiltration of the liver, disorientation, and coma, occurring mainly in children and usually following a viral infection, such as chicken pox or influenza. [After Ralph Douglas Kenneth Reye (1912–1978), Australian pediatrician.] Diagnosis Reye Syndrome What is Reye syndrome? Reye syndrome (RS) is an unusual reaction to infection (generally by a virus) that results in brain swelling and fatty disease of the liver and kidneys and can result in death. RS is most harmful to the brain and the liver, because it causes an increase of pressure within the brain and, often, massive accumulation of fat in the liver and other organs. RS is primarily a children's disease, although it can occur at any age. It is usually a two-phase illness because it tends to occur during recovery from a viral infection, such as the flu or chicken pox. The disorder can also develop 3 to 5 days after the onset of the viral illness. Reye's syndrome (RS) is often misdiagnosed as encephalitis, meningitis, diabetes, drug overdose, poisoning, sudden infant death syndrome, or psychiatric illness.
