	Reyes Syndrome
		Reye’s (pronounced “rye”) syndrome is a disease believed to be triggered by the ingestion of medicines (such as aspirin) that contain salicylate (pronounced “sa liss a late”) that affects all the organs of the body but affects the liver and brain lethally.
		After Reyes Syndrome was identified in 1963, the number of recognized cases began to increase during the 1970’s.
		Reyes syndrome should be suspected in a person if this pattern or symptoms appears during or most commonly, after a viral illness.

	CNN - Report: Dramatic drop in Reye's syndrome - May 5, 1999
		Reye's syndrome, also known as Reye syndrome, is a dangerous, acute illness characterized by encephalopathy (brain swelling) and liver degeneration.
		By 1980, from these and other observations, they had deduced that Reye's syndrome occurred primarily in children who had recently suffered a viral illness such as influenza or chickenpox and had taken aspirin to relieve the symptoms of that disease.
		In the current study, doctors at the CDC found a consistent, dramatic decline in Reye's syndrome cases since 1980, when the first public health warning was issued about the association between aspirin and Reye's syndrome.
