【英国卫生官员:儿童突发性肝炎的增加与腺病毒感染有关】当地时间4月25日,英国卫生安全局表示,越来越多的证据表明,一种常见病毒与近期一些幼儿中发生的罕见肝炎病例有关。该局认为,一种名为F41的腺病毒看起来是最可能的致病原因。目前,全球已出现至少169例儿童肝炎病例,其中1例死亡。仅在英国,就有114名儿童患病,其中10名需要进行肝移植。 There is mounting evidence that a common virus is linked to rare cases of hepatitis that have been occurring in some young children, said the UK Health Security Agency on Monday. The agency said that a strain of adenovirus called F41 is looking like the most probable cause of the mysterious child hepatitis. There have been at least 169 cases of hepatitis in children globally, including one death. In the UK alone, 114 children have become ill and 10 of them need liver transplant.
