The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) last week announced the launch of an investigation into a hepatitis outbreak in children under 10 across the UK.
So far, 74 cases of the disease have been documented. Of those cases, 13 are in Scotland, 49 in England, with the remainder in Northern Ireland and Wales.
Health officials are investigating possible causes, including Adenoviruses - a family of 'common' viruses passed through touching contaminated surfaces and breathing infected air, which can lead to rare cases of the disease.
