"We identified a possible manifestation of an immune-mediated postacute sequel to COVID-19 associated with a characteristic immune infiltrate in children with AHUO. COVID-19 testing should be considered in paediatric AHUO"

In a new study, children developed acute hepatitis around 2 months after COVID-19 infection.

They tested negative for acute COVID via PCR, but their livers told a different story.
