Original Message Officials probing outbreak in UK warned of lack of exposure to common infections during 'formative' years
Experts warned during pandemic locking down children could leave them with subpar immunity to infections
169 cases of 'acute hepatitis of unknown origin' found in 12 countries - 9 in Alabama and 2 in North Carolina



A global surge in mysterious hepatitis cases in children may have been caused by lockdown and social distancing, health chiefs have warned as cases in the US rose to 11.

Officials probing the outbreak in Britain said a lack of exposure to common infections during their 'formative' years may have left more children than usual vulnerable to the deadly liver disease.

Many experts warned during the pandemic that locking down children, despite their low risk of severe Covid, could weaken their immunity against other illnesses, as well as hamper their education and long-term health.


Officials have ruled out the Covid vaccine as a possible cause, with none of the 11 US cases being jabbed, and they say it's unlikely Covid itself is playing a role.

So far 169 cases of 'acute hepatitis of unknown origin' have been detected in 12 countries since last October, the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced.

The vast majority of cases have been among children age five and under, and so far one youngster has died and 17 have needed critical liver transplants.

Nine cases have been spotted in Alabama and two in North Carolina, however experts told DailyMail.com Monday they may be the 'tip of the iceberg', as many symptoms are missed.

Three-quarters of cases in the UK have been linked to adenoviruses, which usually cause the common cold. However, if someone's immune system is unable to fight off the virus, it can develop into hepatitis.

There are also fears that a strain of adenovirus may have mutated to become more severe.
