Abstract

Reye's syndrome is a rare disease that has the potential to damage several organs, particularly the brain and liver. The exact cause remains unknown, but several cases suggest a link to viral and bacterial infections, especially Influenza and Varicella. The clinical symptoms of Reye's syndrome include altered consciousness, fever, seizures, lethargy, vomiting, tachycardia, respiratory rhythm disturbances, changes in muscle tone, altered reflexes, and reduced urine production. This study aims to understand the clinical characteristics and evaluate the effectiveness of management in patients with Reye's syndrome through a literature review. The findings indicate that Reye's syndrome frequently affects children following viral infections, with initial symptoms of vomiting and altered consciousness progressing to coma. Laboratory tests reveal elevated liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, while prompt management, such as stabilizing vital functions and managing intracranial pressure, can improve prognosis. In conclusion, Reye's syndrome requires rapid intervention to prevent further organ damage, and education on the risks of aspirin use in children with viral infections, along with early intervention, is crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.

Abstract

The skin has an important role in protecting the human body. However, in infants, the skin has a structure and function that are not fully mature yet, making infants vulnerable to various skin disorders. This article aims to review the structure, function, and development of infant skin, as well as the common diseases that occur in infant skin, including the causes, pathophysiology, and management. A literature review was conducted using scientific articles related to these topics. The review results show that infant skin has a different structure compared to adult skin, and the maturation of its structure and function occurs gradually. Infant skin is protected by the microbiota and the primary immune system. Common skin diseases in infants, such as dermatitis, are caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors, and involve the activation of skin cells, the release of mediators, and an immune response. A good understanding of the structure, function, and skin diseases of infants is very important for making the right diagnosis and management, so that the quality of life of infants can be maintained.
