The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that at least one child has died and 17 have required liver transplants in an outbreak of hepatitis in the United States, the UK, and other European nations.
A statement from the U.N. health agency, which came after a nationwide alert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said that “there have been continuing further reports of cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin among young children.”
