Introduction
Each year, between 1600 and 2300 cases of probable and confirmed chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are newly reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). The majority of these cases are Asian and non-Hispanic (where race and ethnicity are known) and many were born outside the US. The highest rate of newly reported cases is in the 30-39 year age group. Suffolk County, Norfolk County, and Middlesex County have chronic HBV rates higher than the Massachusetts state average.
Between 30 and 70 cases of confirmed acute HBV infection are also reported each year. Acute cases are predominantly white, non-Hispanic, and US-born (where demographic characteristics are known). Injection drug use (IDU) is a significant, and increasingly important, risk factor for acquisition of acute HBV infection. In 2017 and 2018, MDPH investigated and responded to an outbreak of 29 acute cases associated with IDU in Bristol County.

Case classification: Chronic HBV
Confirmed: IgM antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) negative AND a positive result on one of the following tests: hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), or nucleic acid test for hepatitis B virus DNA (including qualitative, quantitative and genotype testing), OR
HBsAg positive or nucleic acid test for hepatitis B virus DNA (including qualitative, quantitative and genotype testing), or HBeAg positive two times at least 6 months apart (Any combination of these tests performed 6 months apart is acceptable.)
Probable: A case with a single HBsAg positive or HBV DNA positive (including qualitative, quantitative and genotype testing), or HBeAg positive lab result when no IgM anti-HBc results are available
Case classification: Acute HBV
Clinical Presentation: An acute illness with a discrete onset of symptoms consistent with acute viral hepatitis (e.g., fever, headache, malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain) and either a) jaundice or b) elevated serum alanine aminotransferase levels > 100 IU/L
Confirmed:Clinically compatible case* not known to have chronic hepatitis B and
1. HBsAg positive, AND2. IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti– HBc) positive, if done
* A documented negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) laboratory test result within 6 months prior to a positive test (either HBsAg, Hepatitis B “e” antigen (HBeAg), or hepatitis B virus nucleic acid testing (HBV NAT) including genotype) result does NOT require an acute clinical presentation to meet the surveillance case definition.
Suspect:Positive IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) that does not meet the clinical definition
Note that confirming a chronic HBV case can involve a significant time delay because of the requirement for two tests at least 6 months apart. Thus, it is expected that cases in the most recent year would be more likely to be classified as “probable.”
The year into which a case is categorized is based upon the case’s “Event Date”, which can be calculated from the following case characteristics, in decreasing order of specificity, dependent on availability of information: symptom onset date, specimen collection date, diagnosis date, or case creation date.

The surveillance case definition for chronic HBV requires two positive tests; for certain test types, these two tests must taken at least 6 months apart. Reported cases are classified as "probable" following the initial test result and are re-classified as "confirmed" if additional test results are received. During the most recent year of data, 2018, some cases currently reported as probable may be converted to confirmed in future
reports as additional information is obtained.
Data are current as of March 5, 2019 and are subject to change.
