PEOPLE’S MIND – Adenovirus and SARS CoronaVirus 2 are suspected of being the initial cause of the outbreak of the virus Mysterious Hepatitis. According to researchers from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (FKUI), the two possibilities are indeed strong candidates, but there are other problems that may be the cause.
FKUI become one of the laboratories appointed to conduct investigations and test samples of disease Mysterious Hepatitis. Laboratory FKUI tested as many as seven samples related to cases Mysterious Hepatitis.
“But until now, of course, we are still considering other possibilities, although the two viruses found are indeed strong candidates, there are other issues that are still being considered, whether this was actually triggered by an infectious virus and could be any virus or indeed Adenovirus and SarsCoV2. , said the microbiology specialist FKUIDr dr Budiman Bela, SpMK(K) in his statement broadcast on YouTube CME FKUI which airs on Thursday 12 May 2022.
Even so, Dr. Budiman Bela said that from the results of the shotgun sequencing examination on the first sample by the Nusantrics laboratory using plasma samples, the results did not find Adenovirus 41 as the cause. disease Mysterious Hepatitis.

“Here we are still estimating, it could be because we used plasma samples and not whole blood samples because the patient has died so that only the existing samples can be examined. Meanwhile, as I mentioned earlier, Adenovirus 41 was more commonly found in whole blood samples or whole blood,” he said.
He continued, from the results of the Nusantrics laboratory research, there were other possible causes Mysterious Hepatitis are DNA genetic traces for the cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus, Bacillus cereus bacteria, and Legionella bacteria.
“Does this have any meaning? For cytomegalovirus, most of the children in Indonesia have been infected, so even though there is still a possibility, we are still saving all of this first whether they are the cause or not,” he said.

“Bacillus cereus bacteria if it infects the bloodstream can indeed cause problems, but these bacteria are easily found in dust. So it is possible that when taking specimens they can be sucked in, as well as Legionella Sp bacteria,” he said.
