Acute hepatitis in children, the Ministry circular signed by Giovanni Rezza
There is a growing fear ofpediatric hepatitis in children Also in Italy. “As of April 22, a total of 11 reports have been received referring to patients identified in various Italian regions, such as Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Sicily, Tuscany and Veneto”, reads circular from the Ministry of Healthsigned by the general director of health prevention, Giovanni Rezza.
It is therefore a question of “reports relating to sporadic cases scattered throughout the national territory, whose adherence to the criteria of the case definition (shown below) is illustrated below:? 1 patient does not fall within the case definition (admitted before January 2022); ? 2 cases are being evaluated for possible further etiological causes; 4 cases can be defined as “suspicious” (the examinations are currently in progress or not defined); ? 2 cases defined as “possible” (over 10 years of age); ? 2 “confirmed” cases, the circular continues.
“A positivity for Adenovirus or for SARS-CoV-2 it has so far only been reported in two suspected cases. However, the role played by adenoviruses in the etiology of these forms of acute hepatitis, hypothesized by UK researchers, is not definitively confirmed. A “possible” case underwent a liver transplant. Several Regions (Campania, Piedmont, Liguria, Valle d’Aosta, Calabria, Puglia) have communicated that they currently have no cases to report “, continues the circular
THE Italian pediatricians are welcome to do the “reporting of any case of acute hepatitis that meets the definition of case currently adopted by the WHO “as well as to the Ministry of Health of all possible cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin affecting children. Also” central administrations are encouraged to report any suspected case in European platforms (EpiPulse – European surveillance portal for infectious diseasese – in the EWRS) “, reads another passage of the document.
“The European Center for Prevention and disease control – ECDC – will continue to monitor this event through epidemic intelligence activities and links with EU Member States and EEA countries and key stakeholders – clarifies the circular -.

WHO does not recommend any restrictions on travel and / or trade with the UK or any other country where cases have been identified, based on currently available information “.
