Robert Lustig: Reye’s Syndrome Risk: Why Aspirin Shouldn’t Be Given to Children with Viral Illnesses
Robert Lustig recounts his experience treating children with Reye syndrome—previously healthy children (age ~5 years or younger) who developed acute fatty liver infiltration and uniformly died. He reports that in 1984–85 it became clear that virtually every patient had been exposed to aspirin, which led to the clinical practice of not giving aspirin to children during viral illnesses.
