Researchers have now found that hospital visits for pediatric hepatitis and liver transplants did not increase between 2018 and 2022.
A cluster of unexplained pediatric hepatitis cases in Alabama between October and February started a global investigation that sparked fears about the potentially devastating effects of adenovirus and COVID-19 on children’s livers.that hospital visits for pediatric hepatitis and liver transplants did not increase between 2018 and 2022. Positive results for adenovirus, a primary suspect in the Alabama hepatitis cases, also remained steady, despite an increase in tests since March.
The CDC issued an alert notifying doctors about the cluster and asking them to report similar cases. The agency found 180 cases in 36 states that looked like the ones in Alabama. Countries outside the U.S. also reported cases, including the United Kingdom, where more than 200 cases have been identified.
To better understand recent pediatric cases, researchers from the CDC studied hospital admission data for liver infection and transplants. A median of about 32 children between the ages of 0 and 11 were hospitalized each month with hepatitis. A median of four children younger than 18 received liver transplants each month according to the researchers.
