Financial Associated Press, April 30 (Editor Malan) Since Monday, the UK Health Safety Agency has confirmed 34 new cases of childhood hepatitis, bringing the UK total to 145 new childhood hepatitis cases. Around 190 cases of severe hepatitis of unknown origin have been reported in children worldwide, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said on Tuesday, with the number of cases in the UK surpassing 200 this week. UK Health Security said most children have recovered and no children have died. The number of children needing liver transplants has not increased at 10, it was reported on Monday. “We are also exploring whether there has been an increase in childhood susceptibility during the Covid-19 pandemic due to reduced exposure, or whether the genome of adenovirus has changed,” the group said in a statement. Paediatric Liver Diseases at Women’s and Children’s NHS Trust, Birmingham, UK Expert Professor Kelly has said the surge appears to be linked to the pandemic, and found in the inquiry a 1924 report describing an increase in childhood hepatitis after the 1918 flu pandemic. It is also one of the reasons that explains the surge in childhood hepatitis, that the epidemic lockdown may have weakened the immunity of children, who are less exposed to common pathogens during quarantine. .
