Influenza A virus and Reye's syndrome in adults

L E Davis et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1980 Jun.

Abstract

We report fatal Reye's syndrome in two adults following proven influenza A viral infections. Reye's syndrome is, therefore, not confined to children but may also occur in adults. Many reported cases of postinfluenza A encephalopathy have clinical and pathological features of Reye's syndrome suggesting that they are not due to postinfectious perivenous demyelination.
