As a result, the researchers concluded that people who are already taking a low-dose aspirin keep on taking it unless they have significant risk factors for aspirin-related bleeding.
Because children with Kawasaki disease will be taking aspirin for up to several months, vaccination against varicella and influenza is required, as these infections are most likely to cause Reye syndrome.
