According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cases of the "mysterious" acute hepatitis, or *acute hepatitis of unknown aetiology*, affecting children had been reported in 20 countries as of May 1, 2022.

WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic stated that at least 228 cases had been reported as of May 1, 2022. An additional 50 cases were under investigation.

This figure represents a significant increase compared to the previous week. On April 21, 2022, only 169 cases had been reported across 11 countries.

The WHO is still investigating the cause of this mysterious illness. Although adenovirus infection was detected in many affected children, the WHO stated that the relationship between the two is still under investigation.
