PREVIOUS : Health officials investigating mysterious cases of hepatitis in children; WHO issues global alert
United States officials are looking into more than 100 possible cases of the mysterious and severe liver disease in children, including five deaths.
Two patients under investigation in Michigan meet the Center for Disease Control and prevention’s inclusion criteria, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
Here’s the full statement from MDHHS
MDHHS has provided this data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of their Health Alert Network Health Advisory to notify clinicians and public health authorities of a cluster of children identified with hepatitis and adenovirus infection, stemming from nine patients presenting with this infection at a large children’s hospital in Alabama in November 2021. None had COVID-19. MDHHS is working with clinicians across the state to gather data on children under 10 years of age who have an unknown etiology for their hepatitis since October 1, 2021. MDHHS will continue to provide this information to the CDC as they conduct their investigation.
