Known as the mysterious case of hepatitis, the disease has caused a new panic in the world. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) stated that so far 111 cases have been detected in the UK and 55 cases have been detected in the European Union (EU) countries as of April 27.
INCREASED CASE OF SEVERE ACUTE HEPATITIS
In the risk assessment report of ECDC, it was stated that there was an increase in cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown cause in previously healthy children.
It was reported that as of April 20, 111 cases were detected in the UK, and 55 cases were detected as of April 27 in other European Union (EU) countries.
In the report, which was reported to be ongoing to determine the cause of hepatitis cases, it was stated that the risk to the child population in Europe could not be fully evaluated at the moment.
REVIEW CONTINUING
It was stated that in most of the cases in England, patients also had adenovirus, this may be related to the increasing adenovirus cases, and investigations are continuing to determine the issue.
In the report, it was stated that one of the theories about the disease was evaluated as “a co-factor causing a more severe infection or liver damage in children with adenovirus infection, which is expected to be mild under normal conditions.” It was emphasized that other causes that may lead to the disease were not ignored.
The ECDC recommended that general hygiene practices be followed, such as disinfecting floors and keeping hands clean, just in case, to prevent the transmission of adenovirus.
SYMPTOMS SUCH AS JANUARY, DIALSEMENT ARE OBSERVED
The World Health Organization announced on April 16 that 74 children in England had detected the hepatitis virus of unknown cause. It has been reported that in the last month, symptoms such as jaundice, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain have been observed in children in whom the spreading virus has been detected.
