Show Notes
The CDC is investigating reported clusters of children with acute severe hepatitis that have no known cause. Johns Hopkins pediatric hepatologist Dr. Kathryn Smith talks with Stephanie Desmon about hepatitis in children and what we know and don't know about this particular phenomenon. Ultimately, she says, it's a question of whether this really is something new or if we're just now noticing patterns that already existed.
