Hepatitis in children: Researchers theorize hepatitis outbreak in kids could have possible link to stomach bug, COVID-19

The CDC is investigating 109 cases of severe and unexplained hepatitis in children that may be linked to a worldwide outbreak.

Symptoms of hepatitis - or inflammation of the liver - include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, light-colored stools, joint pain and jaundice. The fact that adenovirus keeps showing up strengthens the case for it playing a role, but it's unclear how, Dr. Jay Butler, the CDC's deputy director for infectious diseases, told The Associated Press.

"If we start testing everybody for the adenovirus, they will find so many kids" that have it, said Dr. Heli Bhatt, a pediatric gastroenterologist who treated two Minnesota children with the liver problems. It's possible that doctors are merely discovering a phenomenon that's been going on for years, some scientists said.
