The World Health Organization (WHO) says that as of April 21, severe cases of hepatitis have been reported in Britain, the United States, Spain, Israel, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, France, Romania and Belgium. The organization said 114 of the 169 cases were in the UK alone.

The organization added that the registered cases were in children aged one month to 16 years and that 17 of them required liver transplant surgery. The report did not include details of those who died of the disease and did not specify where it occurred.

The organization said it was monitoring the situation and was cooperating with British health officials, other member states and allies in the area.
