Abstract:
Since April 2022, hepatitis of unknown cause in children has been reported in many countries around the world. As of May 11, more than 20 countries had reported at least 448 cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown causes in children. In view of the detection of adenovirus in some cases, adenovirus infection is suspected to be the possible cause of the acute severe hepatitis in children. This paper briefly summarizes the previous studies and reports on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of hepatitis caused by adenovirus infection (adenovirus hepatitis), so as to provide reference for prevention and control of acute severe hepatitis of unknown cause in China.
