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 reported chronic hepatitis B cases during 2021, by state or jurisdiction. In 2021, chronic hepatitis B was not a reportable condition in four states (Connecticut, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas), and cases were unavailable from seven states or jurisdictions (Alabama, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island). Of note, cases of newly reported chronic hepatitis B do not represent all prevalent hepatitis B virus infections, which cannot be captured in the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. The highest rate of newly reported chronic hepatitis B was in Oklahoma (12.0 cases per 100,000 population), whereas the lowest rate was in Kansas (0.4 cases per 100,000 population).
