The capacity of each jurisdiction for notifying CDC of acute hepatitis C cases varies considerably on the basis of laws, resources, and infrastructure for conducting viral hepatitis surveillance. During 2019, a total of 7 jurisdictions did not submit acute hepatitis C case notifications to CDC. The national rate of acute hepatitis C was 1.3 reported cases per 100,000 population during 2019, a >60% increase from the rate reported during 2015. Indiana had the highest reported rate of acute hepatitis C (4.8 cases per 100,000 population), whereas Florida reported the largest number of cases (n = 616). Seven states with the highest number of reported acute cases (Florida, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and California) accounted for >50% of the national burden of acute hepatitis C during 2019.
