NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials remain perplexed by mysterious cases of severe liver damage in hundreds of young children around the world.
The best available evidence points to a fairly common stomach bug that isn’t known to cause liver problems in otherwise healthy kids. That virus was detected in the the blood of stricken children but — oddly — it has not been found in their diseased livers. “There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense,” said Eric Kremer, a virus researcher at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of Montpellier, in France.
As health officials in more than a dozen countries look into the mystery, they are asking: — Has there been some surge in the stomach bug — called adenovirus 41 — that is causing more cases of a previously undetected problem? — Are children more susceptible due to pandemic-related lockdowns that sheltered them from the viruses kids usually experience?
Editor’s Note: Seriously? Health officials are baffled by mysterious liver damage in children around the world? How ignorant do they believe the masses are? The liver is a master organ of the body that filters out free radicals or toxins found in our environment. Is it such a wonder they are damaged in children who by the way, receive liver cells from the mother in the womb? This damage is decades of disease being passed down from generation to generation and it’s time we stop putting a mask on everything and get to the root of disease.
