12 Truths About Reye’s Syndrome

ADVERTISEMENT

More Articles here: Conditions

Reye’s Syndrome is a rare health condition that affects mostly children, and it affects approximately less than a million.

It’s a sometimes fatal condition that’s often picked up after a child has undergone a severe viral infection – and they might even appear to have made a very good recovery from the initial infection when the symptoms of Reye’s Syndrome (also sometimes called Reye Syndrome) sets in.

The condition requires immediate medical attention, and can be treated if spotted early enough – but can be fatal if not spotted in time.

Even though the condition mostly affects children, it can also affect adults and some people with compromised immunities should consider themselves to be more at risk, and even if a rare disease is the last thing that comes to mind, it’s certainly possible – and it can affect you.

Here are 8 truths about Reye’s Syndrome that you should know if you or someone you know are ever diagnosed with it.  

1. Occurs in Children

Reye’s Syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs in only under a million cases every year, but this doesn’t make it one of the rarest disorders out there by any means, and it doesn’t mean that it’s something you’ll never see in your lifetime.

It’s most common in children and it’s generally considered to be a paediatric disorder. This doesn’t mean that it’s a disorder that’s exclusively restricted to children, though, and there have been a fair amount of Reye’s Syndrome cases reported in adults, too.

Children who have recently recovered from a viral infection and children with a generally compromised immune system can be considered to be more at risk: Any symptoms should immediately be reported to a medical professional. Left untreated, the disease presents with a considerably risk of a coma, brain damage or even death.

Damage due to the condition can be kept to a minimal amount only when the condition is spotted and treated early on.
