Excerpt

Acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children, since it was firstly reported in Scotland on March 31, 2022, has become an international concern with a high risk of acute liver failure requiring liver transplant. The typical causes for hepatitis have been ruled out and investigations revealed possible relationship between the disease and two potential pathogens, a special form of human adenovirus (HAdV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Acute hepatitis has been reported in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) and incorporating insights from the immunology perspective is necessary to fully understand this disease. …
