In the United States, chronic hepatitis B is one of the leading causes of cirrhosis, which is a major cause of liver cancer. This table displays the number and rates of newly identified chronic hepatitis B cases during 2019, by state or jurisdiction. Of note, cases of newly reported chronic hepatitis B do not represent all prevalent hepatitis B infections, which cannot be captured in the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System.
Of the 13,859 cases of chronic hepatitis B reported during 2019, approximately half of the cases were from 6 states (Florida, New York, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee). The highest rate of newly reported chronic hepatitis B was in Georgia (12.0 cases per 100,000 population, whereas the lowest rates were in Kansas and Wisconsin (0.9 cases per 100,000 population).
