Daily Mail News UK – Health
One baby has died and eight have been admitted to intensive care in a mysterious cluster of infections thought to be caused by a typically harmless virus.
In total, 15 newborns in Wales and south-west England have been struck down with severe Myocarditis — inflammation of the heart — since June 2022.
One of them is still in hospital, according to an alert issued last night by the World Health Organization.
Health chiefs were spooked by the ‘unusual’ spike in cases over such a short space of time, prompting a thorough investigation.
