The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday that it has opened an investigation into a wave of mystery hepatitis cases that left five children dead and dozens more in the hospital. Fourteen of the youngsters needed liver transplants.

The hepatitis cases have been seen in 25 states—and the U.K. is also investigating scores of infections.
