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 2020, by state or jurisdiction. In 2020, chronic hepatitis B was not a reportable condition in five states (Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas).
Cases were unavailable from six states or jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island), and no cases were reported by two states (Alabama and California). 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 11,635 cases of newly reported chronic hepatitis B reported during 2020, approximately half of the cases were from 5 states (Florida, New York, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio). The highest rate of newly reported chronic hepatitis B was in Oklahoma (9.7 cases per 100,000 population), whereas the lowest rates were in Arizona and Wisconsin (0.6 cases per 100,000 population).
