Does aspirin lead to Reye's syndrome?
Apparently the cause of Reye's Syndrome is not known or understood. BUT there has been an associative link found between the occurrence of the disease and the use of aspirin.

What is reye's syndrome?
Reye's syndrome is an emergency illness chiefly affecting children and teenagers. It almost always follows a viral illness such as a cold, the flu, or chicken pox. Reye's syndrome may affect all the organs of the body, but most seriously affects the brain and liver. Rapid development of severe neurological symptoms, including lethargy, confusion, seizures, and coma, make Reye's syndrome a life-threatening emergency. Reye's syndrome is a rare illness, even rarer now than when first described in the early 1970s. The incidence of the disorder peaked in 1980, with 555 cases reported. The number of cases declined rapidly thereafter due to decreased use of aspirin compounds for childhood fever, an important risk factor for Reye's syndrome development. Because of its rarity, it is often misdiagnosed as encephalitis, meningitis, Diabetes, or poisoning, and the true incidence may be higher than the number of reported cases indicates. (I just copied this off of the question "What is reye syndrome?", but it means the same thing. Thanx 2 whoever wrote that!)
