ICYMI: Studies find more clues to potential cause of severe hepatitis cases in children
Countries across the world began reporting cases of severe liver inflammation, or hepatitis of unknown origin, in children in April 2022.
Early on, experts suggested that adenovirus – a type of virus that causes the common cold – could be linked to the outbreak. They said co-infection with AAV2 and either adenovirus, or less commonly the herpes virus HHV6, was a plausible explanation for the cases of hepatitis of unknown origin among children, and more research was needed.
The Scottish researchers also found differences in the Human Leukocyte Antigen gene in the children who became seriously unwell.
