Hepatitis outbreak in children: CDC lists symptoms parents should look for
The Centers for Disease Control is alerting parents to the signs of hepatitis as it continues to investigate a rare outbreak among children. The agency said this week it is investigating 109 hepatitis cases that infected children under 10-year-old across the country. Ninety percent of the children affected had to be hospitalized, 14% resulted in a liver transplant and five children died. Parents are advised to be on the lookout for symptoms of hepatitis in children and contact their healthcare provider quickly if they have concerns. If you have any questions about your child’s health, call your child’s healthcare provider,” CDC said.
