[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 465784, member: 1967"] My 7-year-old cousin died after getting chicken pox in the 1960's. Looking back, we think it was a case of Reye's syndrome (see below) but never were sure. All I know is that she got a case of chicken pox and was dead 7 days later. [COLOR="#0000CD"]What Is Reye's Syndrome? Reye's Syndrome is a disease which affects all organs of the body, but most lethally the liver and the brain. Reye's Syndrome is a two-phase illness because it is almost always associated with a previous viral infection, such as influenza, cold, or [U]chicken pox[/U]. Scientists do know that Reye's Syndrome is not contagious and the cause is unknown.[/COLOR] I wish the chicken pox vaccine had been around when my daughters were small. They both ended up with severe cases of chicken pox and I was a nervous wreck. Not to mention that adults that have had chicken pox as children have the virus in their systems all of their lives and can end up with painful outbreaks of shingles as adults. Chicken pox is not a harmless childhood disease! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
