Researchers found high adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) levels in the blood or liver cells in 24 of 25 children with unexplained hepatitis.
In a group of kids without this condition, almost none had AAV2, even those with #adenovirus.

For anyone else going thru this #paediatric #Hepatitis chaos, or interested. I’ve read pretty much everything out there and these are the best sources I’ve found - mostly descriptive or syndromic reporting - in no particular order🧵

#OmicronI #Paediatric infections and admissions 1/n
What do we know from South Africa
-7% of infected kids needed hospitalisation
-18% of all hospital admissions were paediatric
-Paediatric admissions peaked prior to adult admissions
- 0 to 4 group needed most admissions

2/n South Africa (Contd)
- Short admission (mean of 3.2 days)
- 92% needed only ward care (NO HDU/ICU)
-25% needed some oxygen
- 6% needed ventilator care
Overall: early sharp increase in admissions especially 0-4 yo, but most needed short hospital stay and did well.

2) This brought lots of #longcovidkids families to our door, so we set up a place to connect & now support over 2000 families all facing the same challenges. Since December we have been welcoming about 100 families, often with multiple #longcovid kids.

3) We realised #longcovidkids was different to #longcovid so we set up the #LongCovidKidsStudy with @PeopleWithApp to learn more & support researchers & Drs.

This is KidzMed, an award winning programme developed for members of the multidisciplinary team to teach children and young people how to swallow pills from @GreatNorthCH
Even quite young children can do it!

The manual for prescribing is @BNfc which is a fantastic resource
bnfc.nice.org.uk
Initial chapters describe key prescribing rules
The Medicines Guidance section includes prescribing in certain situations and body surface area tables if your med is prescribed by SA
