They found 74 children with acute hepatitis that isn’t caused by any of the hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E.
We don’t know what caused it. Could be a mutation of a known virus, but it need not be a virus at all.
That’s the news.
Knowing that most cases of hepatitis are caused by viruses, they looked at what viruses “make the rounds” in the population. That’s why they mention Covid and adenoviruses. They haven’t found a culprit yet, so they continue searching, including “Laboratory testing for additional infections, chemicals and toxins”.
