title: Reye's syndrome in a neonate.
abstract: This case substantiates the fact that Reye's syndrome can occur in newborns. The clinical features appear to be slightly different in the neonate, in that respiratory distress was the presenting sign in this case and in the one other reported case in a newborn, with no mild preceding illness or vomiting. Thus, Reye's syndrome must be considered when a newborn presents with respiratory distress and evidence of central nervous system and hepatic involvement.
