† Reported confirmed cases. For the case definition, see Acute Hepatitis B.
Rates of reported acute hepatitis B decreased among all racial/ethnicity groups during 2005–2012 but have remained largely unchanged during 2013–2019. During 2020, rates of reported cases of acute hepatitis B ranged from a low of 0.2 cases per 100,000 among Asian/Pacific Islander persons to a high of 0.7 case per 100,000 among non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black persons.
Of note, the relatively small number of cases reported among certain racial/ethnicity categories can result in wider fluctuations in annual rates.
