The World Health Organisation has reported at least 1,010 probable cases in 35 countries.
Two new studies – one by University of Glasgow researchers examining cases in Scotland and a second studying cases from across all four UK nations at Great Ormond Street Hospital – shed light on another virus that seems to play a significant role. Both studies were able to rule out the likelihood of recent or prior SARS-CoV-2 [the virus that causes Covid-19] infection as a direct cause for the acute hepatitis. Researchers found no SARS-CoV-2 in the liver of patients, while tests conducted by the team in Glasgow to find out whether the children had previously had Covid found that only two-thirds of the patients had antibodies to the infection, similar to Covid antibody prevalence in Scottish children at the time.
