Three youngsters died of an undisclosed hepatitis strain In Indonesia

[ASEAN NOW Content Team]

 

According to Indonesia's health ministry, three youngsters have died from an unknown liver ailment, bringing the global death toll to at least four.

In recent weeks, nearly 170 youngsters in 11 countries have been diagnosed with a severe form of acute hepatitis, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to express alarm about the disease's "unknown origin."

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal discomfort were among the symptoms experienced by the youngsters prior to the appearance of evidence of liver inflammation.
Previously, at least one death had been reported.

 

Three infants died in hospitals in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, this month after presenting some of the symptoms, according to the country's health ministry.

The youngsters, who were two, eight, and eleven years old, also developed fever, jaundice, convulsions, and loss of consciousness, according to Siti Nadia Tarmizi, the ministry's spokesperson.

"At the moment, we suspect acute hepatitis," Tarmizi said, "but we need to confirm that the cases aren't caused by known hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and Rb."

 

She went on to say that the health ministry was presently conducting a full panel of virus tests to figure out what was causing the ailment.

Parents should take their children to the hospital right away if they show any signs of the symptoms, according to the ministry.

The discovery of a probable new disease affecting only young children – the majority of whom are under the age of ten and have no underlying diseases – has alarmed a worldwide health community already dealing with Covid-19.

I heard that an unknown hepatitis virus also appeared in Great Britain. Let's hope it's not an epidemic.

Monkeypox: Two more confirmed cases of viral infection - BBC News

And now 4 more in the UK, hope it does not get here as here is an extract togethr with the BBC link;

 

"Four more people in England have been diagnosed with monkeypox.

The UK Health Security Agency says the risk to the public remains very low, although it appears the individuals caught it in the UK.

Monkeypox is usually associated with travel to West Africa.

The new cases - three in London and one in north-east England - do not have any known links with two other cases confirmed on 14 May or another case announced on 7 May.

The UKHSA says investigations are under way to establish links between the latest four cases, who all appear to have been infected in London.

Currently, common contacts have been identified for two of the four latest cases. All four self-identify as gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men."
