Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects, analyzes, and disseminates viral hepatitis surveillance data. Each week, staff at health departments submit case reports of viral hepatitis to CDC through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). The annual surveillance report, published by the CDC, summarizes information about reported cases of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C and deaths with any of these hepatitides listed as a cause of death in CDC’s National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). These surveillance data are used by public health partners to help focus prevention efforts, plan services, allocate resources, develop policy, and detect and respond to clusters of viral hepatitis infection. These actions support the goal of CDC’s Division of Viral Hepatitis 2020 - 2025 Strategic Plan(7) for establishing comprehensive national viral hepatitis surveillance for public health action.
The 2019 Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Report contains 21 tables and 25 figures, and there are some notable additions to the 2018 Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Report(8). For the first time, the Surveillance Report describes demographic characteristics of persons with chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C by age group, sex, race/ethnicity, and US Department of Health and Human Services regions. Additionally, the number and rates of viral hepatitis cases by urbanicity status is included for hepatitis A, acute and chronic hepatitis B, and acute and chronic hepatitis C infections. Finally, outcome data from CDC’s Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program for infants born during 2018 to persons with HBV infection are reported from 64 jurisdictions.
Data are presented for the cases of viral hepatitis infection from 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2019. Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Report — United States, 2019 is not copyrighted and may be used and reproduced without permission. Citation of the source is, however, appreciated.
