[Reye's syndrome in Spain, 1980-1984 (A cooperative study: Pediatric Intensive Care Section of the Asociación Española de Pediatría)].
The incidence of the Reye syndrome in Spain has been retrospectively reviewed from 1980 to 1984. A survey of 57 cases has been available to study. It is pointed out the low frequency (0.12/10(5) 15 years); the low mean age (12 month) due to a higher prevalence in infants; the high mortality rate (49%), proportional to the great number of III and IV Lovejoy's stages; the low correlation with chicken-pox and salycilate-intake in the prodromic period and a better prognosis in patients when barbituric coma was established along with other measures.
