One area being explored is whether the hepatitis cases are linked to an increase in infections caused by adenovirus, a common cause of childhood illness.

The number of pediatric hepatitis cases continues to rise across the globe, while the CDC offers tips to help kids avoid contracting the disease.

It is not unusual for the cause of some hepatitis cases in children to remain unknown," the CDC added. The first reported U.S. cases in the outbreak were in Alabama in October, and all of the children, between 1 and 6 years old, tested positive for adenovirus. Hepatitis, which is an inflammation of the liver, is typically caused by one of the hepatitis viruses — hepatitis A, B, C, D or E. In these newer cases, though, the typical causes of hepatitis have been ruled out. A possible association with current adenovirus infection has been found in cases in the UK in particular but other hypotheses and possible co-factors are under investigation. Most of the children were hospitalized, and eight needed a liver transplant. Italy has the most cases of EU countries, with 35, followed by Spain's 22.
