Hepatitis in children: How many cases are there?

Hepatitis in children: How many cases are there? Health officials are continuing to investigate a sudden surge in cases of hepatitis or liver inflammation among young children in the UK and around the world.

A return to normal social mixing after the pandemic could also be a factor. BBC News
