Abstract

A 14-year-old girl in whom Reye syndrome developed during aspirin therapy for an inflammatory disorder proven to be systemic lupus erthymatosus is reported. This case and similar cases of Reye syndrome in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis suggest that an etiologic relationship exists between salicylate therapy and Reye syndrome in children with collagen vascular disorders.
