"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.

SARS-CoV-2 proteins were still hiding inside, and their immune systems were trying to fight back.

Autoimmune response:

preprint finds that a #SARSCoV2 variant mimics human liver protein that may trigger T-cell autoimmunity—thus might damage the liver. Authors suggest it could explain a surge in children hepatitis. Note: ORF-1 protein is not found in vaccines.

Twitter thread: Let's talk about the mystery epidemic of #hepatitis in children. It's most likely a complication of #COVID19 but may take a while to be adjudicated as such. The syndrome has been seen in children <17, mostly unvaccinated kids <5 years. A thread.
