More Than 900 Cases of Hepatitis of Unknown Origin Reported in Children, WHO Says - The Epoch Times

Health officials across 33 countries have received reports of 920 probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown origin in young children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In a press release on Friday, the health agency said the latest update on the outbreak is an increase of 270 cases since it published data last month that revealed 650 cases of severe acute hepatitis were diagnosed in children between April 5 and May 26.

Health officials in the United States said infection with adenovirus, a common childhood virus called F41, could be the leading hypothesis for most probable cases.

Researchers studying a probable link to the CCP virus detected COVID-19 in 15 percent of hepatitis cases of unknown origin in European regions and 10 percent in the United States, according to the WHO report.
