During 2019, the rates of reported acute hepatitis B ranged from a high of 4.3 cases per 100,000 population in Maine to a low of 0.1 in Connecticut, Hawaii, Montana, and Wisconsin. The largest increase in rates from 2018 to 2019 was observed in South Dakota, whereas the largest decrease in rates from 2018 to 2019 was observed in Connecticut. Because of varying resources to conduct viral hepatitis surveillance and the relatively smaller number of acute hepatitis B virus cases reported in certain jurisdictions, wide fluctuations in annual rates occur.
