Abstract:
Two cases of Reye's syndrome in an age of 14months and a 3 years female were observed. The laboratory findings revealed increased SGPT, SGOT and hypoglycemia, respectively. Clinical findings were also compatable with this syndrome. In one case, liver biopsy revealed fatty infiltration of the liver cells. A brief review of related literatures was presented.
