CDC issues alert for rare liver damage in children
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is asking physicians nationwide to be on the lookout for unusual cases of severe hepatitis in children. The agency issued a health advisory on the matter Thursday.
Nine cases have been reported in Alabama, and an additional two have been identified in North Carolina, according to those states' health departments.
Several children in that state became so ill that they needed a liver transplant. No deaths have been reported. All were ages 1 through 6 and were healthy previously, without any underlying conditions.
