Reye's Syndrome Guidance and Research Update
National Center for Disease Control in Atlanta urges parents to avoid aspirin if Reye's symptoms appear while doctors stress aspirin is not a cure or proven cause. Reports from Ohio show 100 cases since Jan 1 with two deaths. Michigan and Iowa also report cases. Early detection and Ohio’s six referral centers have reduced mortality to below 20 percent, with ongoing studies into viral, chemical, or virus chemical causes.
