Two of those patients required a liver transplant, and no patients died.<\/p>\n<p>Other than the nine Alabama cases, two have been identified in North Carolina, health department officials told local media.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities are now investigating a link between pediatric hepatitis and adenovirus cases. The agency also has asked clinicians and state public health officials to report if\u00a0children under the age of 10 are found to have elevated\u00a0aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase, suggesting liver problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCases of pediatric hepatitis in children who tested negative for hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E were reported earlier this month in the United Kingdom, including some with adenovirus infection,\u201d the agency wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC also noted that five children had adenovirus type 41, which \u201ctypically presents as diarrhea, vomiting, and fever,\u201d and \u201cit can often be accompanied by respiratory symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least 100 children in the United Kingdom under the age of 10 have been diagnosed with acute hepatitis from an unknown cause, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/number-of-hepatitis-cases-in-uk-children-being-investigated-rises-to-108_4418287.html\">authorities have said<\/a>. UK officials said there is \u201cno link\u201d between the cases and COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Cases have also been found in Denmark, Spain, and the Netherlands, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in a Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecdc.europa.eu\/en\/news-events\/update-hepatitis-unknown-origin-children\">announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by a viral infection, alcohol, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications\u00a0acetaminophen, high doses of certain herbal supplements, toxins, and various medical conditions. Hepatitis viruses, which spread via bodily fluids, can also cause liver inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms include abdominal pain\u2014namely in the upper right part of the abdomen right below the ribs\u2014dark-colored urine, light-colored stools, and jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a health advisory after children in Alabama were discovered to have adenovirus and hepatitis infections.They said that a \u201ccluster of children\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1450263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1450263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1450263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1450263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1450263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
