Acute hepatitis, doctor Vasil Llajo: It mainly affects girls, over 10% have it
Dr. Vasil Llajo

Acute hepatitis, which has spread to 12 countries around the world, remains a mystery until its origin is determined. In the studio of Ditari on A2 CNN, the Albanian doctor in Greece, Vasil Llajo said that the main cases are in children aged 3-5 years.

"It continues to be a mystery that its origin has not been determined, adenovirus 41 as the cause. Of all the cases that have been observed not in all cases the presence of adenovirus has not been confirmed 41. Hepatitis remains mysterious by not isolating the causative agent. So far the cases are up to 16 years old, over 60% from 3-5 years old. Here is the density of cases and 65% of cases are girls. In no case was the presence of viruses or hepatitis a, b, d, e recorded. "In some cases, it has been observed that the coronavirus has compromised the immune system."

According to Dr. Llajo, this hepatitis is life-threatening, as 10% of children pass it severely. He said that this hepatitis, which is transmitted through breathing and feces, has alerted the health authorities in Greece, as the cases that have appeared have not had contact with each other.

"Dangerous for life, 10% of children go through it severely, with fever, vomiting, diarrhea and what worries them the most is the yellowing of the eyes and skin. Health authorities in Greece have been put on alert because the first cases have quickly spread to Europe. It is transmitted through respiration and feces. All cases are with gastrointestinal involvement. Cases between each other have not had contact with each other are isolated cases. And the fact that it is gastrointestinal is thought to be the adenovirus one of the causes. I do not think there is an effect of vaccination against hepatitis B is independent and has nothing to do with common hepatitis nor the vaccine that has to do with coronavirus. We are left with the mysterious hepatitis again. "They have to be isolated for 48 hours to interrupt the transmission chain."

Asked if there are consequences after the touch, the doctor stated that it is too early to come to conclusions as there is still no scientific data.

"It is too early to draw a conclusion about the long-term consequences because it is known that hepatitis A leaves no consequences, but other hepatitis B, C and E leave consequences. In this case we have no scientific data to sanction a result for consequences or not. "We are in the beginning of clinical studies based on this hepatitis."
