Recently, the cases of acute hepatitis of unknown etiology (AHUE) in children worldwide have been increasing continuously and rapidly, involving more than 396 cases in 26 countries, and global public health actions, including surveillance, health alerts, research, are being implemented. AHUE mainly affects immunocompetent children with typical acute hepatitis, which can be severe and require liver transplantation.

It is urgent to strengthen the monitoring and research of AHUE cases.
