Neonatal acute liver failure cases with echovirus 11 infections, Japan, August to November 2024
In 2022-23, several European countries reported paediatric acute liver failure (ALF) with enterovirus infection. In August-November 2024, three neonatal cases of ALF with echovirus 11 (E11) were reported in Tokyo, Japan. All neonates developed irreversible multiple-organ failure and died. The E11 strain belonged to the new lineage 1, which was the same as strains isolated from neonatal ALF cases in Europe in 2022-23.
