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 shared that the outbreak has now spread across at least fourteen different countries, two of which include the U.S. 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 stated that it has received reports of at least 169 cases of “acute hepatitis of unknown origin” from 14 countries. The organization identified cases detected in children between the ages of one month up to 16 years, although they have yet to disclose in which countries deaths have occurred.
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.
There have been speculations from many health officials that the Hepatitis outbreak comes as a result of lockdowns, as reduced physical contact with others weakens people’s immunity.
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.
The Daily Mail Report offers additional details:
“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.”
