‘Mysterious’ hepatitis in children, possibly due to the effect of a mix of common viruses
[ad_1]
The mystery of the cases of pediatric hepatitis that occurred in several countries last spring, at least 1,000, which led to 22 deaths and 50 liver transplants has been revealed: the cause could have been a mix of viral co-infections led by a virus in itself non-pathogenic, the so-called adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2), but aided by common cold viruses and fever
It is the result of three independent studies conducted between the United States and Great Britain by the University of San Francisco, the University of Glasgow and University College London, all published in the journal Natures.
