Reye's syndrome has been thought to represent a childhood illness. Our thesis is that it is a postviral systemic disease which may affect adults as well. A 51 year old woman is presented whose case meets all of the major criteria for Reye's syndrome. The diagnostic criteria for Reye's syndrome are summarized, and two other reported cases of Reye's syndrome in adults are reviewed. The diagnosis of Reye's syndrome in adults requires familiarity with the diagnostic criteria and a "high index of suspicion."
瑞氏综合征一直被认为是一种儿童疾病。我们的论点是，它是一种病毒感染后的全身性疾病，也可能影响成年人。本文介绍了一名51岁女性的病例，该病例符合瑞氏综合征的所有主要标准。总结了瑞氏综合征的诊断标准，并回顾了另外两例已报道的成人瑞氏综合征病例。成人瑞氏综合征的诊断需要熟悉诊断标准并“高度怀疑”。
