Increase in children with mysterious liver infection in Europe and America

Health officials say they are investigating unexplained and suspected cases of hepatitis or hepatitis in children in several European countries and in the United States.

Cases of hepatitis, or hepatitis, have been reported in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States, along with the United Kingdom and Scotland.

Last week, British health officials announced that they had identified more common cases of the disease in children.

However, the incidence and incidence of the disease in children has not yet been established.

The European Center for Disease Control and Prevention has not yet determined the number of hepatitis cases in four European countries.

But according to the World Health Organization (WHO), five cases have been reported in Ireland and three in Spain. More cases are likely to be discovered in the coming days, the agency said.

The European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says investigations into the cause of the disease are continuing in all European countries where cases have been reported.

In the United States, the Alabama Department of Public Health reported nine children aged one to six years, two of whom required a liver transplant.

The largest number of cases has been reported in the UK with a total of 74.

The UK’s Department of Health and Safety announced last week that the most common virus causing infectious hepatitis (Hepatitis A to E) has not been identified in the UK.

As a result, researchers are looking at other possible causes and believe they may play a role in causing the common adenovirus disease.

Adenoviruses are a family of viruses that usually cause mild illnesses such as the common cold, vomiting, and diarrhea.

According to the BBC, the British Health and Safety Agency says other possible causes of the disease are being investigated and are not ruling out the possibility of Covid-19. The agency added that there is no clear link between the disease and the Covid-19 vaccine.
