The capacity for notifying CDC of acute hepatitis B virus infection cases varies considerably on the basis of laws, resources, and infrastructure for conducting viral hepatitis surveillance in each jurisdiction. In 2020, no cases of acute hepatitis B were reported to CDC by Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, New Hampshire, and New Mexico.
The national rate of reported acute hepatitis B was 0.7 cases per 100,000 population during 2020. West Virginia had the highest rate of acute hepatitis B during 2020 (3.2 cases per 100,000 population).
Five states with the highest number of reported acute cases (Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio, and Kentucky) accounted for approximately half of the national burden of acute hepatitis B cases reported during 2020.
