  The national incidence of hepatitis has continued during the second quarter 1960 at a level far above any year since 1955. All regions reflect this increase with predominance present in most western states, Alabama, Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Although by the end of June we are approaching the seasonal hepatitis low, monthly morbidity is double last year's total for the same month. Current data strongly suggest that the 1960-61 hepatitis season will be a major one.
