Alberta’s chief medical officer of health says there are two probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown origin in children in the province.She says one of the patients was treated, discharged from hospital and is doing well.She says she cannot provide more details due to patient confidentiality.
SickKids said it remains to be seen whether that number is an increase in cases of unknown origin compared with similar periods in previous years, or if any of the cases will be confirmed to have a new cause.Hinshaw said Alberta shared information late last week with clinicians on what to look for and how to report severe acute hepatitis of unknown cause in children.
“This will allow us to consistently report case information to the federal government and help contribute to the global body of work to understand more about this condition.” The World Health Organization said last week it had reports of almost 300 probable cases in 20 countries. More than 100 possible cases have emerged among children in the United States, including five deaths.
