More Than 900 Cases of Hepatitis of Unknown Origin Reported in Children, WHO Says

The WHO has received reports of 920 probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown origin in young children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

  • The WHO said 45 children with acute hepatitis have required liver transplants, and there have been 18 deaths, most of them occurring in the Americas region.
  • Researchers have been scrambling to determine the cause of the mysterious rise in severe cases of hepatitis-or liver inflammation-in young children.

Probable Causes

  • Infection with Adenovirus, a common childhood virus called F41, could be the leading hypothesis for most probable cases.
  • In the United States, adenovirus infection was detected in 45 percent of cases, while in European regions, it was found in more than half of cases with available results.
  • COVID-19 vaccines do not appear to be linked to the hepatitis cases.
