INDIANAPOLIS — An Ascension St. Vincent transplant surgeon is explaining more about recent severe cases of hepatitis in children.
As of April 26, the Associated Press reported around 190 cases worldwide, of which 140 are in Europe. It was first identified in Britain. "What's unusual in this case is a virus that does not commonly cause hepatitis ... is causing a severe inflammation of the liver that can lead to enough liver damage that folks have required a liver transplant for lifesaving treatment," Cantafio said.
Cantafio says the likelihood is low Indiana would see a significant outbreak and encourages parents to continue routine care for their kids.
