China News Service, April 26. According to the Greek "China-Greece Times" report, in response to the recent unexplained cases of childhood hepatitis, Martina Pagoni, president of the Athens Piraeus Doctors Association, called for strict adherence to health measures, He also said that hepatitis is an infectious disease, and it is necessary to control its spread through certain means.
At least one child has died from unexplained acute hepatitis, WHO announced.
So far, a total of 169 cases have been reported in many countries.
Speaking to local media, Martina said: "The hepatitis infection in young children is mainly in children under the age of 5-6, which worries us because in 10% of the sick children, we all have to have transplants. Of course, the operations were all successful, but according to the data, one patient died."
The cause of the hepatitis outbreak is still under investigation, and scientists currently believe it is linked to an adenovirus, she said.
The onset of hepatitis has nothing to do with the Covid-19 vaccine, as most sick children have not been vaccinated.
Martina stressed that there is no need to panic because the current treatment methods and methods for hepatitis are well established.
"Parents need to be aware of their children's symptoms of hepatitis, such as gastrointestinal disturbances such as vomiting and diarrhoea, and if they do, they should contact their paediatrician immediately. All people should follow strict hygiene measures as hepatitis is contagious."
The famous Greek medical scientist, Professor Majokinis, published an article on acute hepatitis cases in children.
The professor's prediction is worrying.
He predicts an increase in cases, and what people are seeing now is a very rare complication of the disease.
The Greek Public Health Organization issued a statement instructing clinicians to be vigilant and vigilant in children under 16 with hepatitis symptoms of no clear etiology for early diagnosis and treatment.
