3. The @ECDC_EU / @WHO_Europe update on #PediatricHepatitis has an epicurve that shows either date of onset of illness or hospitalization, depending on what info is available. It urges caution in trying to interpret what looks like a recent decline in new cases.
4. Of the #PediatricHepatitis cases tested for adenovirus infection, 54% tested positive for adenovirus. 10.6% tested positive for active SARS-2 infection. Only 47 cases were tested for prior SARS-2 infection; 64% of them were positive.
