There is a news story on the ITV News this evening, but I'm not allowed to post up the link on here. So, those who wish to read this story just enter into Google.

"Parents urged to be alert for hepatitis signs after cases found in children in England and Scotland" (without the quotes).

This is purely for information only.

Hi Richard, I've included the link to the official government statement which doesn't fall foul of the forum rules.

Many thanks Chris, just trying to get the information out there as there's bound to be people concerned.

This is terrifying to think children so young have been infected. Let’s hope they find the link.

As a (somewhat) time-sensitive news item, we are happy to include the link: itv.com/news/2022-04-07/par... We would also remind people that this forum is here for those aged 18 and over, and that our colleagues at the Children's Liver Disease Foundation childliverdisease.org/ provide comprehensive information on childhood liver disease.
