Doctors are investigating a mysterious outbreak of liver disease in young children in the UK.

Case numbers in Wales and Northern Ireland haven’t been released.. This means they will have to take drugs that suppress the immune system for the rest of their lives, which will leave them at risk of infections., but it can be triggered by many other things.
Family doctors have been asked to watch out for children aged 16 and under who have symptoms of hepatitis, which include a yellow tinge to the skin known as jaundice, discoloured urine or faeces, itchy skin, fever, nausea and abdominal pain.
