None of the affected children in the UK had been vaccinated because they were too young to be eligible.
Social media posts have falsely linked a recent spike in unexplained hepatitis in children to the Covid vaccine.
None of the five specific viruses which usually cause hepatitis was found, but the majority of youngsters tested did show up positive for a particular adenovirus - a common family of infections responsible for illnesses from colds to eye infections.Dr Meera Chand, director of clinical and emerging infections at the UK Health Security Agency , said their investigations "increasingly" suggested the rise was linked to adenovirus infection.
One post on Reddit highlighted the fact that an adenovirus is used in the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccines. The average age of the children developing hepatitis is three - an age group not eligible for any of the Covid vaccines in the UK, where most of the cases have been recorded.
