Crack the Case: Hepatitis cases linked to adenovirus infection still a mystery
A mysterious wave of acute hepatitis in children remains under investigation and now spans 46 states and at least 11 countries in Europe and the Americas. In September 2022, an episode of Talking Pediatrics, “Crack the Case: Hepatitis, Adenovirus and a Boy with Yellow Eyes,” explored the case of a 4-year-old boy who presented at Children’s Minnesota with symptoms of possible hepatitis. Dr. Bryan Fate, primary care physician, and Dr. Rashedat Oshodi, resident from the University of Minnesota, discussed the case and the medical decisions that were involved.
