There are dozens of adenoviruses, many of them associated with cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat and pink eye. While it's unclear what's causing the illnesses, a leading suspect is an adenovirus. The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. The infections caused symptoms like jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain. LONDON -- Health officials say they have detected more cases of a mysterious liver disease in children that was first identified in Britain, with new infections spreading to Europe and the U.S. Health officials say they have detected more cases of a mysterious liver disease in children that was first identified in Britain, with new infections in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain

Last week, health authorities warned countries to be on the alert following a spike in cases of hepatitis of unknown origin in children in the UK.

There have also been nine cases in children between the ages of one and six in the state of Alabama in the US, who also tested positive for adenovirus. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Wednesday that additional cases of hepatitis of unknown origin have been reported in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain. Cases of acute hepatitis have been reported in countries around Europe, following a mysterious spike in cases of severe liver disease in children in the UK.

"Mild hepatitis is very common in children following a range of viral infections, but what is being seen at the moment is quite different," said Graham Cooke, a professor of infectious diseases at Imperial College London. A mystery spike in hepatitis cases among children in the UK that has seen six youngsters needing liver transplants has now been seen in mainland Europe and the US. "Mild hepatitis is very common in children following a range of viral infections, but what is being seen at the moment is quite different," says a professor of infectious diseases at Imperial College London.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has said there has been a further increase in cases of hepatitis of unknown origin in children.

At present, the exact cause of hepatitis in these children remains unknown." In Northern Ireland, the Public Health Agency has said there have been fewer than five cases reported as of last week. Cases of the unexplained liver inflammation, which were first detected in Scotland earlier this month, have been reported in a number of countries including Ireland.

It is, similarly, too early to say whether another potential culprit, adenoviruses like the ones that cause a range of common illnesses like sore throat and pink eye, might be linked to this outbreak. Covid-19 infection has been linked to a broad range of health challenges and much about how it affects the body remains unknown. Scientists are looking at other viruses, environmental factors, and Covid-19 as potential causes for the outbreak.

In some cases, the disease was so severe the children needed a liver transplant. After analyzing the available data, experts say the cause remains unknown, but ...

“Although some have caused acute liver failure and even gone on to liver transplantation, and for which no specific treatment, such as an antiviral drug, is available.” “If the liver recovers spontaneously, then no long-term health consequences are to be expected,” he said. “There is no link to the COVID-19 vaccine. Hepatitis or liver inflammation has been found in a few dozen cases globally. “However, it is important to note that these cases now reported by the WHO are cases of acute hepatitis that do not lead to chronic liver disease,” he said. “The exception would be an acute hepatitis that is so severe as to cause acute liver failure.”

However, rarely, hepatitis can be a rare complication resulting from the virus. The WHO first became aware of the unusual illnesses early this month, when they learned of 10 children in Scotland with liver problems. The liver processes nutrients, filters the blood and fights infections. The World Health Organisation on Friday said that the UK has been investigating at least 74 cases in which children have come down with hepatitis, or liver inflammation. The infections caused symptoms like jaundice, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Even though some children have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and adenoviruses, health officials are still looking for a genetic characterisation of the viruses to determine any potential associations between cases

Health officials in Britain have identified 74 cases since January, with 6 UK children needing liver transplants as a result of the illness. The typical viruses ...

"The other reason why it might be happening is that it could be a different virus that that might be affecting a child in a different way and just happens to affect the liver." "One of the most common causes is viruses and we know that there are a number of viruses that can particularly affect the liver. A mystery spike in hepatitis cases seen in children in the UK is now occurring in the EU and US.

Some of the children in the UK have required specialist care at liver units and a few have needed a liver transplant. Now cases of hepatitis have been identified in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said in a statement on Tuesday, while nine infections have been found in Alabama in children aged one to six, US officials said. A mysterious liver disease in children that was first identified in the UK has spread to Europe and the US.
