Scientists have discovered the cause of hepatitis outbreaks in children

A few cases of childhood hepatitis of unknown origin have been reported worldwide.

Scientists at the Immunological Institute in Glasgow believe that the outbreak of hepatitis of unknown origin is related to the weakening of the immune system and the incidence of colds after two years of isolation, through COVID-19. This was reported by Telegraf.

Specifically, the researchers analyzed 260 cases of liver disease, resulting in 12 children requiring transplantation.

The analysis showed that the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines are not to blame. The cause is a virus called AAV2 (adeno-associated virus 2) and is the causative agent of the common cold.

It has been noted that adenoviruses are very common and appear every winter, but this spring there has been an unusually large surge in infections because isolation and distancing from other people has been in place for two years, so the level immunity to the virus in humans is very low.

Now that kids are back at school and socializing with each other, many seasonal viruses are transmitted and spread differently than usual.

At the same time, the scientists noted that AAV2 can infect cells, but cannot replicate and cause damage, for this it must rely on another virus. However, scientists have found signs that AAV2 and adenovirus can cause hepatitis together.

Exactly how it harms the liver remains unknown.

Earlier it was reported that hepatitis of unknown origin was registered in the world, the number of cases is increasing.

The WHO announced the first 200 cases of an acute outbreak of hepatitis in children
