Dozens of unexplained cases of hepatitis have been detected in children in the UK, the World Health Organisation says. Who stresses that many of these children have previously been infected with multiple viruses, including the Novel Coronavirus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has entered its third year, and the current global situation is not optimistic. The WORLD Health Organization had planned to end the pandemic by the end of this year, but the reality is that there is no way to do so.
The current situation in many countries is even more serious than before, which is mainly due to factors such as the continuous opening of economies, the slack epidemic prevention policies of various countries, and the incorporation of their citizens. In short, COVID-19 remains the focus of the international community.
The WORLD Health Organization has announced another piece of bad news before COVID-19 is over. Cases of hepatitis of unknown cause have been reported in many countries
And at the end of the outbreak has not been thoroughly the key transit time, the world health organization has issued a hard to accept the bad news: found children in many countries in the world with mutations in hepatitis, and were found to suffer from hepatitis, the body is no problem, so the situation is no way to explain.
“The clinical manifestations of confirmed cases are acute hepatitis, marked elevation of liver enzymes, frequent jaundice, and other problems, and most of the children are younger than 10 years old.” Who added.
More than a dozen children in the UK have developed the condition, and others in the US, Ireland, and other countries have also developed hepatitis, requiring urgent life-saving liver transplants.
The story has drawn international attention after it was exposed on multiple media platforms, and countries are urgently investigating the cause of the phenomenon.
According to the latest information released by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is not caused by hepatitis A, B, C, and D viruses, and there is an important finding that some of the clinical tests on the samples of these children have detected the presence of novel Coronavirus viruses.
In this particular case, the CDC has raised the possibility that adenoviruses may have been the primary cause of hepatitis in these children, although scientific researchers need to further verify this claim.
Adenoviruses are a common group of viruses that usually cause a range of mild illnesses, including colds, vomiting, and diarrhea, but usually do not cause hepatitis.
The US CDC also confirmed that 9 children reported in the US have tested positive for adenovirus, and 5 of them have been confirmed positive for adenovirus type 41.
