Reye Syndrome
Reye syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that mainly affects the liver and the brain, and that occurs above all in children and adolescents, frequently after a viral infection. It requires immediate attention.
Warning signs: Persistent vomiting, changes in behavior, drowsiness, or confusion that appear during recovery from a viral illness.
When to seek attention? If a child recovering from an infection has repeated vomiting along with drowsiness or strange behavior, it is an emergency that warrants attention without delay.
Who treats it? The pediatrician is the professional who evaluates and guides the management of this condition in children. In the presence of these signs during or after a viral illness, the prudent course is to seek attention immediately for evaluation.
