GMB GP speaks of 'really serious' condition seeing uptick among children

A GP was in GMB this morning speaking of a "really serious" condition that is currently seeing an uptick among children.

Dr Amir Khan GP told the ITV show that 108 children across the UK have contracted hepatitis, with eight of them needing liver transplants.

Earlier this week, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said additional cases of hepatitis had been identified in Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain. This came after British officials had said earlier in the month that 74 cases of hepatitis had been found in children since January, reports the Mirror.
