Johnson等(1963)证明,乙型流行性感冒(简称流感)流行与脑病伴肝脂肪变性综合征(Reye综合征)在时间上有相互关系。Glick等(1970)与Reynolds等(1972)进一步提供了流行病学上的证据,并有若干乙型流感感染的病毒学和血清学资料支持。最近二篇报告指出,此综合征病人己分离出乙型沈感病毒。 Johnson et al. (1963) demonstrated that the prevalence of influenza B (influenza) is correlated with the encephalopathy in patients with hepatic steatosis (Reye’s syndrome) in time. Glick et al. (1970) and Reynolds et al. (1972) provide further epidemiological evidence and support for several virological and serological data on influenza B infection. Two recent reports indicate that patients with this syndrome have isolated the B-type virus.
