The World Health Organization said on Friday that 33 countries have recorded 920 probable cases of acute hepatitis in children so far, an increase of 270 cases from May.
The World Health Organization said that half of the possible cases were recorded in the European region, including 267 in Britain, while a third of the possible cases were recorded in the United States.
Health authorities worldwide are investigating the mysterious rise in acute hepatitis cases in young children. The outbreak was first recorded in April in Britain and subsequently infected dozens of other countries.
