At least 11 cases have been reported in Alabama and North Carolina.
The advisory warns of a possible association between cases of inflammation of the liver, also known as hepatitis, and a strain of a virus known as adenovirus 41. Adenoviruses are common viruses that often cause cold-like symptoms, including sore throat, fever pneumonia, and stomach pain or diarrhea.
The most common type of hepatitis is caused by viruses, typically hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E, with the first three being the most common in the U.S. However, the Alabama cluster of cases and the others are not caused by any of the usual hepatitis viruses.All of the nine children in Alabama, between 1 and 6 in age, became ill enough to merit hospitalization, with three developing acute liver failure and two requiring liver transplants.
Dr. David Hill, a Wayne County, North Carolina-based pediatrician and the official spokesperson of the American Academy of Pediatrics, agreed. Pavia advised concerned parents to keep in mind why the CDC issues advisories like this in the first place: “They aren’t trying to alarm anyone ... but it’s important for people to remember that this advisory is meant to help physicians find out how widespread problems are and what could be causing .”
