Investigation launched after hepatitis cases detected in Tayside children

A small number of hepatitis cases have been detected in young children across Scotland - including in Tayside - after an unusual surge in cases amongst youngsters.

Public Health Scotland (PHS) chiefs are aware of 11 cases of hepatitis - an inflammation of the liver - identified in children aged between one and five years old who have been admitted to hospital across the central belt.

Four NHS Health Board areas in Scotland have reported the “non A to E hepatitis” cases mostly in March, including Tayside, Lanarkshire, Greater Glasgow, Clyde and Fife.
