In April 2022, the United Kingdom was the first to report 74 cases of severe acute hepatitis in children monitored across different parts of the country. Hepatitis A to E viruses were not the common infectious etiological agents. As a result, the World Health Organization is closely monitoring reports of its unknown etiology and high severity incidence, and has warned that more cases are likely to come.
