Deadly outbreak of children's hepatitis may have been brought on by Covid lockdown
Officials said outbreak may be because children in 'formative' years were not exposed to common infections. In total, 114 cases of 'acute hepatitis of unknown origin' have been reported in the UK in the last four weeks.
UK health officials say they have detected as many cases in three months as they would expect to see in a year. Majority spotted in under-5s who were initially hit with diarrhoea and nausea before later getting jaundice. Experts say lockdowns may have weakened immunity of children and left them more susceptible to the virus
