Since the discovery of 169 children with unexplained hepatitis in the UK, similar cases have been reported in other countries, and some children are so ill that they even require liver transplants to survive.
At present, the specific etiology of hepatitis in these children has not been clarified. Usually, the pathogens that cause hepatitis are mainly hepatitis viruses divided into A, B, C, D, E, etc., but in these None of these viruses have been detected in children with unexplained hepatitis, but evidence of coronavirus and some adenovirus infections has been detected. Under normal circumstances, these two generally do not lead to hepatitis attacks, or even the need for lung transplantation, because they are both respiratory tract infections, that is to say, they spread through the respiratory system and rarely invade the liver, but both are infected at the same time. In the case of the population, the final result is difficult to predict, and it is still uncertain whether unexplained hepatitis is a secondary disease of the new coronavirus.
Before, I have talked about giving up the fight against the epidemic, and one of the many consequences of laying down comprehensively is whether it will cause secondary infection of other pathogens. Unexplained hepatitis was found, reminding people that this condition is extremely likely. Sometimes there can be very serious consequences, especially for children. No similar cases have been found in my country so far.
