National Reye's Syndrome
Foundation
Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack
any child or adult without warning. All body organs are affected,
with the liver and brain suffering most seriously. While the
cause and cure remain unknown, research has established a link between
Reye's Syndrome and the use of aspirin and other salicylate-containing
medications. In 1974, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation
was incorporated, becoming the first citizen group to generate a
concerted, organized lay movement to eradicate Reye's Syndrome.
