Reye's syndrome: diagnosis by muscle biopsy?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three children with Reye's syndrome are described. One child died, the second had mild and transient illness, and the third had recurrent episodes. In all 3 children a muscle biopsy showed pronounced infiltration of the myofibres with fat microdroplets as shown by the oil red 0 stain and by electron microscopical examination. We suggest that needle biopsy of muscle may be a quick and safe aid to the diagnosis of Reye's syndrome, and may be preferable to liver biopsy in view of the pronounced tendency to bleed in Reye's syndrome.

Seeking to determine the effect of liver disease associated with Reye's syndrome on the regulation of plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, we measured this compound in plasma from 11 patients with biopsy-proven Reye's syndrome. Its concentrations in plasma are significantly higher [37.5 (SD 6.13) micrograms/L] at the onset of the disease than after treatment [8.50 (SD 2.9) micrograms/L] or in a group...
