Mayo Clinic advises parents on what to watch for as hepatitis cases increase

Pediatricians spoke Thursday morning regarding what they say is an unusual increase of hepatitis cases in children.

Mayo Clinic doctors want parents to be aware of what they’re seeing, but they also want them to realize that at this point, these cases of hepatitis are extremely rare, and they are still trying to understand what might be causing them.

As previously reported, global health officials are investigating about 200 cases of acute hepatitis, including in the United States. Experts don’t believe there is any link to COVID-19, however, one thing that does stand out is the fact that most kids who are getting sick were previously healthy.

The viruses that typically causes hepatitis haven’t identified in these cases – instead, what health officials are seeing in some cases, but not all, is a different virus called adnovirus, which usually causes the common cold, cough, fever, and sometimes vomiting.

Before this, the adnovirus hadn’t been linked to hepatitis.

Researchers say right now, they need more information to understand what’s going on.

“It’s very possible that more cases will start to be identified going forward, and that’s a really important part of the investigation – to understand the exact scope of this and to try and look at these patients and help identify what is common about them, what is uncommon in order to try to get to the bottom of what is causing this,” said Dr. Nipunie Rajapaske, a Pediatric Infectious Disease expert at Mayo Clinic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an alert regarding a number of children in Alabama suffering from a significant liver injury and who also tested positive for adenovirus. The CDC says all of the children were previously healthy, and did not have COVID-19.

Hepatitis is a liver inflammation caused by viral infections, alcohol use, toxins, medications and other medical conditions. Signs and symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, joint pain, jaundice, loss of appetite, fatigue, abdominal pain, light-colored stools and dark urine.

In addition, the Minnesota Department of Health previously told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS it is investigating multiple severe hepatitis cases among children, including two cases at M Health Fairview, which involved an infant and a two-year-old child.

Mayo Clinic officials say parents should be on the lookout for some of the most common symptoms.

“One of the most common things that we notice is yellowing around the eyes, also yellowing of the skin, or what we call jaundice, and that’s really important,” said Dr. Sarah Hassan, a Transplant Hepatologist at Mayo Clinic Children’s Center.

Doctors say they want parents to be aware, but not too alarmed, as they stress the cases are still very rare.

And unless I missed it, nowhere do they say if the kids had the experimental vaccines or not. Lack of this would suggest that they all did.

“Extremely rare”

Extremely rare NOW because few children have been vaxxxxxxxed.

But if Fraudci and eugenics psycho Bill Gates get their way, then children will be commonly vaxxxxxxed

and then

hepatitis in children will become extremely common.

Sorta like myocarditis.

Any studies on the effects of slathering young skin with all those hand sanitizers? It can’t be good for them.

Definitely keeping kids away from life and others and germs in general means you have delicate hot house flowers that don’t have enough immunity to things. Stop masking and separating kids. Age 3-12 they are supposed to be exposed to everything to become strong teens and adults.

In England many of these patients with H were unvaccinated. So it’s not that. I think it’s not allowing kids to develop normal immune systems with strong livers.

postulates that this is a mutation of the attenuated adenovirus from the vaccines that use one. it could apparently pick up a certain sequence that would let it transmit?

if so, explains a lot, and the powers that be will NEVER admit it.

but the alabama piece does mention they tested positive for (some) adenovirus.
