Description:

While rare, children can still have serious hepatitis, and we don’t always know the cause. That’s why investigators continue to look at possible causes and investigate.

Numbers of patients under investigation (PUI): 395

PUI does not mean this patient is a confirmed case. The states and CDC are looking broadly (including hepatitis cases of unknown origin in children under 10 years of age, since October, 2021), so this number may go up or down as CDC and states review medical charts and learn more.
