CDC REPORTS 71 NEW CASES OF MYSTERIOUS HEPATITIS AMONG CHILDREN

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday provided an
update on the mysterious rash of hepatitis cases among children.

So far, it noted that 36 states and territories have reported child liver
inflammation cases, as it continued to say the cause is not known. About 180
pediatric cases have been under investigation over the past seven months, which
is an increase of 71 cases since the last major CDC update on May 5.

No new deaths were reported in the update. Previously, the agency said five
deaths have been reported to date.

“While this may appear to be a large increase in patients under investigation
over the last two weeks, it’s important to understand that the vast majority of
these are what we consider ‘retrospective’ patients,” the agency said in a
statement. “Since CDC’s investigation looks at patients reported back to October
of 2021, most of these numbers involve patients that are just now being
reported, rather than new cases of hepatitis.”

Previously, officials with the federal health agency ruled out hepatitis A, B,
and C—or viruses that can cause liver inflammation and injury. Adenoviruses have
been found in about half of the children under observation, it continued.

“Further laboratory tests are being conducted to look more closely at the virus
genome and other potential pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2,” also known as the CCP
(Chinese Communist Party) virus that causes COVID-19. The CDC and health
officials in other countries have said that COVID-19 vaccines are not the cause
of hepatitis, noting that many of the children patients haven’t received the
vaccines.

The CDC again cautioned that hepatitis among children is a rare occurrence but
is encouraging parents to be aware of the symptoms, namely jaundice—or the
yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by a viral
infection, alcohol, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications
acetaminophen, high doses of certain herbal supplements, toxins, and various
medical conditions. Hepatitis viruses, which spread via bodily fluids, can also
cause liver inflammation.

Symptoms include abdominal pain—namely in the upper right part of the abdomen
right below the ribs—dark-colored urine, and light-colored stools.

About a month ago, the agency issued a nationwide warning after nine child
hepatitis cases were found in Georgia. In the latest update, the CDC did not
give a list of the new states that have reported cases.

Previously it said that Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin have confirmed cases. Puerto Rico
also confirmed at least one case of the illness.
