A recent mysterious hepatitis outbreak among nearly 200 children around the world has caused health authorities in both Europe and the U.S. to scramble desperately to find answers.
The Daily Mail reported that the outbreak has now extended its reach across fourteen different countries, including the United States and Canada.
Interestingly enough, 100Percent FedUp reported that this recent outbreak seems to have fallen close to when Joe Biden plans to lift Title 42, which was a public health order expelling illegal immigrants before applying for asylum in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent further outbreaks at the border.
The World Health Organization shared it has received reports of at least 169 cases of “acute hepatitis of unknown origin” from 14 countries. Of the reported cases, the organization identified children aged between one month and 16-years-old and have yet to disclose which, if any, countries have experienced deaths.
So far, 114 cases are confirmed in the UK, with approximately 200 cases reported in total. However, it is highly possible that there are more cases if there are children that are affected but do not show any signs or symptoms, and therefore will not be taken to the hospital for testing.
Health officials have begun to question if the strict lockdowns from the pandemic are to blame for the recent Hepatitis outbreak, as reducing physical contact with other people can weaken an individual’s immunity, especially in children.
If you are not familiar with what Hepatitis is, in short, the disease marks inflammation of the liver, which can lead to a range of health problems including cancer and liver failure and can be fatal. The liver is incredibly vital as it removes toxins from the blood, is involved in metabolism, and regulates blood clotting, among other functions.
More details from a The Daily Mail Report:
“Suspected cases of the mysterious hepatitis sweeping the world have now been detected in children in Japan and Canada.
Canada’s Public Health Agency yesterday revealed it was ‘aware of reports of severe acute hepatitis of unknown origin’ in the country.
And Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced that a patient under the age of 16 was hospitalised with hepatitis on April 21.
Officials did not reveal their age, sex or location — but said they tested negative for adenovirus, believed to be the culprit of the global outbreak, and Covid.
The patient meets the working definition for a ‘probable case’ of the hepatitis cases already confirmed in countries like the UK, US and Spain officials said.
Nearly 200 children have been sickened by the condition across the world in up to 14 countries since last October. One has died and 17 have needed liver transplants.”
