 | | Reye's syndrome can develop rapidly, so it's important to take prompt action if you suspect your child has the condition. | | | Some children also may need surgery to place a device beside the brain to directly indicate the degree of brain swelling. | | | Reye's syndrome may be a metabolic condition — one without symptoms (asymptomatic) — that's unmasked by viral illnesses. |

| | Aspirin does continue to be used in other countries, however, and there does not seem to be another increase in Reyes Syndrome. | | | In 1974, however, the incidence of Reyes Syndrome, a rare disorder affecting the brain and liver, suddenly increased -- often occurring in children following influenza ("the flu") or chickenpox, and was possibly associated with the use of aspirin. | | | Since then, most pediatricians have recommended the use of acetaminophen to treat pain or fever, and Reyes Syndrome has markedly decreased. |

| | Reye's syndrome, also known as Reye syndrome, is a dangerous, acute illness characterized by encephalopathy (brain swelling) and liver degeneration. | | | By 1980, from these and other observations, they had deduced that Reye's syndrome occurred primarily in children who had recently suffered a viral illness such as influenza or chickenpox and had taken aspirin to relieve the symptoms of that disease. | | | Aspirin is a primary and long-term medication for these children, so they should be monitored especially closely for early symptoms of Reye's syndrome. |
