There has been a major surge in cases of Child hepatitis in the UK. Government scientists are investigating whether a mutation of the cold virus could be behind a rise in hepatitis cases that has led to eight children needing liver transplants.

UKHSA‘s chief medical advisor, Professor Susan Hopkins, says that officials were still looking at a range of possible factors that could be behind the increase, but “the most likely” trigger was an adenovirus – a group of common viruses which usually cause colds, vomiting, and diarrhea in children. “Transplants in this age group are extremely rare so therefore we are concerned, and we want to understand why this is happening and what else we can do,” she told.

Severe hepatitis in children is very rare and the cause of this unusual rise in cases is yet to be known. Hepatitis is the medical term for inflammation of the liver. Inflammation is a general immune response to an infection or injury – a sign the body is trying to fight off potential disease. Symptoms in children usually include some (but not all) of the following: dark urine, grey-colored feces, yellowing of the skin and eyes (called jaundice), and a high temperature.With the right medical attention the condition can usually be treated, but some patients may require a liver transplant. The World Health Organization has reported that six of the children affected in the UK have undergone a transplant so far.
