Rates of reported acute hepatitis B decreased among all racial/ethnicity groups during 2004–2014 but have remained largely unchanged in recent years. During 2019, rates of reported acute hepatitis B ranged from a low of 0.3 cases per 100,000 among Asian/Pacific Islander persons to a high of 1.0 case per 100,000 among non-Hispanic White persons. Of note, the relatively small number of cases reported among certain racial/ethnicity categories can result in wider fluctuations in annual rates.
