Wisconsin investigating 4 cases of unusual hepatitis in children, including one death
CNN
Health officials in Wisconsin are investigating four cases of children with significant unexplained liver damage, including one child who needed a liver transplant and one who died. If the death is confirmed to be linked to the illness, it would be the first reported in the US.
In a health alert issued Wednesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services asked the state's doctors to be on the lookout for these unusual cases and report them.
Wisconsin is the fourth state to announce that it is investigating cases of liver inflammation, or hepatitis, that doesn't seem to be caused by any of the usual suspects like hepatitis A, B, C or D.
