title: Current concepts in Reye's syndrome.
abstract: Reye's syndrome is an acute metabolic encephalopathy largely affecting children and adolescents. Its aetiopathogenesis, although controversial, is at least partially understood. Its study has helped to create a greater awareness of inherited disorders of intermediary metabolism. Although these are individually rare, when combined they constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
