U.S. health officials have sent out a nationwide alert warning doctors to be on the lookout for symptoms of pediatric hepatitis.
U.S. health officials have sent out a nationwide alert warning doctors to be on the lookout for symptoms of pediatric hepatitis, possibly linked with a cold virus, as part of a wider probe into unexplained cases of severe liver inflammation in young children.
UK health authorities on Thursday said they have identified a total of 108 cases of pediatric hepatitis. In some instances, cases were so severe that children required liver transplants. It also suggests doctors conduct adenovirus testing in young patients with symptoms of the disease, which include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, light-colored stools, joint pain, and jaundice.
The more common forms of the liver disease – hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C – were ruled out. Scotland’s public health agency first raised the alarm about unusual hepatitis cases in children on April 6. There have now been 14 cases identified in the country, including one additional case under investigation this week, Public Health Scotland director Jim McMenamin told Reuters.
