Standardized perinatal hepatitis C case notifications to CDC began during 2018, with implementation of the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System case definition. The capacity of health departments for conducting perinatal hepatitis C surveillance varies on the basis of different factors, including local testing and laboratory reporting practices and resources for case management and follow-up.

During 2020, a total of 25 states reported 165 cases of perinatal hepatitis C. The states with the highest reported number of perinatal hepatitis C cases include Ohio (n = 38), Pennsylvania (n = 17), and Indiana (n = 16). The number of cases of perinatal hepatitis C reported in 2020 has decreased 24% compared to the 217 cases reported in 2019.  The perinatal hepatitis C case definition has not changed since it was introduced in 2018.
