Question
If a child has been in a coma for two days, is there hope for treatment? How is Reye’s syndrome generally treated?
Answer
Reye’s syndrome is a group of symptoms characterized by brain edema and liver dysfunction caused by visceral fat infiltration, also known as visceral fatty degeneration brain disease complex. In fact, this condition has been around for more than a decade. If the child’s condition does not progress further or worsen, early intervention with active treatment can have some efficacy. Although the disease cannot be completely cured, the absence of progression is also a good thing.
