British researchers reported a breakthrough Monday in mysterious hepatitis cases affecting young children, finding the serious liver condition was linked to co-infection of two common viruses, but not the coronavirus.
Officials with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention said a mysterious case of hepatitis with no known cause has been detected in a child.
Every year, hundreds of children are diagnosed and treated with hepatitis, and the number is expected to climb as mysterious cases continue to rise worldwide.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues warning after worrisome outbreak of hepatitis in California that are linked to strawberries. The situation comes as another wave of the illness has been making rounds worldwide and already has 650 cases in young children.
