Doctors Alarmed by Strange Disease in Children

Oh, great. There may be a new disease that is endangering children.

A new study published in the journal Eurosurveillance has found that the inflammation of the hepatitis C is spiking in children. There were findings in Scotland, but also in England and the US, raising the possibility of a new global health trend.

At the time of publication, the leading hypotheses are either a new variant with a distinct clinical syndrome or a routinely circulating variant that is more severely impacting younger children.

The researchers wrote that a novel or undetected virus can't be ruled out.

Ars gave a breakdown of how severe this new condition can be. 13 children between the ages of 3 and 5 have had severe cases of hepatitis in Scotland, according to the outlet. There have been no reported deaths, but a few cases required transplants for young patients. The US CDC didn't respond to a request for comment, but cases have been reported there.

We don't know a lot yet, but we will keep an eye out for any further developments.
