All infections were analyzed and none of them were hepatitis A to D, the five most common types of the disease. Patients were aged between 11 months and 5 years.
Most cases experience symptoms that include elevated liver enzymes. Patients also had jaundice (yellow skin and/or eyes), some gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
“We are working with partners to raise awareness among healthcare workers so that any other children who may be affected can be identified early and appropriate testing performed,” reported Meera Chand, Director of Clinical and Emerging Infections at the Safety Agency. UK Health Department (UKHSA).
Chand pointed out that investigations are being carried out to understand what is motivating this wave of infection. Covid-19 and “other infections” are believed to be the cause.
