New research: Unknown causes of hepatitis or a virus that was previously considered to be inferior to the disease

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 29 (Reporter Qiao Benxiao) According to the British popular scientist "New Scientist" recently reported, two new studies led by British scientific researchers have shown that hepatitis of children's hepatitis as early as the British report may usually be considered as before. Do not cause disease -related virus -related viruses.

Type 2 gonad -related virus is a common virus that is prone to infection with children. It was generally considered not to cause disease. It can only be copied when it exists at the same time as other viruses such as adenovirus or herpes virus. Earlier studies believe that hepatitis or adenovirus infection in unknown causes of unknown children around the world is related to adenovirus infections.

In a study led by the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom, researchers recruited nine children with unknown hepatitis and other 58 children as the control group. Through gene sequencing and nucleic acid detection technology, the researchers detected type 2 gonad -related viruses in the blood samples of the above nine children, and there was no in the control group sample.

In addition, the researchers obtained 4 of the 9 children's liver samples, all detected type 2 gland -related viruses. Researchers believe that this means that hepatitis of children's hepatitis is related to type 2 gonad -related viruses. The latter may be the cause of the pathogenic or the biomarker of adenovirus infection, which needs to be studied in -depth.

Another study led by the University of London, the University of London, to draw similar conclusions. Among the 28 children participating in the study, 27 children were detected in the blood samples of children with type 2 glands -related viruses. Among the 136 members of the control group, only one others detected low -level 2 gland -related viruses.

Both the two studies have released the pre -printing platform online, waiting for peer reviews.

In early April, the British first reported that many cases of children's hepatitis of children's hepatitis were found first. At present, the medical community has not yet concluded the cause of the disease. Researchers participating in the above -mentioned research believe that the new crown virus is "impossible" to be related to hepatitis of children with unknown reasons. The latter may have existed for many years, but it has not attracted attention because of the small number of cases.
