Summary
Shows the number of reported cases of acute viral hepatitis B (HBV) and rates per 100,000 population. HBV is transmitted when blood, semen, or another body fluid from a person infected with HBV enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth. For some people, HAB is an acute, or short-term, illness but for others, it can become a long-term, chronic infection that can lead to serious health issues, like cirrhosis or liver cancer. The best way to prevent HBV infection is by getting vaccinated. The counts and rates per 100,000 persons data on viral hepatitis A, B, and C provided in this dataset are sourced from CDC's NCHHSTP AtlasPlus. (There are two other distinct hepatitis viruses [hepatitis D virus (HDV), and hepatitis E virus (HEV)]; most viral hepatitis infections in the United States are attributable to HAV, HBV, and HCV.) All of these unrelated viruses can produce an acute illness characterized by nausea, malaise, abdominal pain, and jaundice, although many of these acute infections are asymptomatic or cause only mild disease. The reported number of new hepatitis infections is based on data from the 50 states and Washington, D.C. As part of CDC's National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS), viral hepatitis case-reports are received electronically from state and local health departments via the CDC National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). National surveillance for viral hepatitis is based on case definitions (https://www.cdc.gov/nndss/#h) developed and approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and CDC.
