Severe hepatitis in kids: Theories emerge for cause of mysterious illness – GLOBAL

May 23, 2022

Health officials remain perplexed by mysterious cases of severe liver damage in hundreds of young children around the world.

The best available evidence points to a fairly common stomach bug that isn’t known to cause liver problems in otherwise healthy kids. That virus was detected in the the blood of stricken children but – oddly – it has not been found in their diseased livers.

“There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense,” said Eric Kremer, a virus researcher at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of Montpellier, in France.

As health officials in more than a dozen countries look into the mystery, they are asking:

_ Has there been some surge in the stomach bug _ called adenovirus 41 _ that is causing more cases of a previously undetected problem?
