Per Virginia regulations, hepatitis C is a reportable communicable disease. Local health departments are responsible for investigating newly-reported cases of hepatitis C. Investigations may include by are not limited to; identifying potential sources of infection, providing patient education and referral to follow-up, identification of contacts requiring testing and vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>Case classification is based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\/Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) case definitions using available laboratory results and clinical symptoms. Cases that meet case definition criteria as a confirmed or probable case are summarized in this report. A probable case represents a person who actively infected or previously exposed to HCV, but not actively infected. Further testing of probable cases is required to determine if a person is actively infected. A confirmed case is a person who has evidence of active infection.<\/p>\n<p>2022 case definitions:<\/p>\n<p><b>Acute hepatitis C<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-acute-2020\/\">https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-acute-2020\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Chronic hepatitis C<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-chronic-2020\/\">https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-chronic-2020\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Perinatal hepatitis C<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-perinatal-infection-2018\/\">https:\/\/ndc.services.cdc.gov\/case-definitions\/hepatitis-c-perinatal-infection-2018\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Changes in standardized case definitions in 2016 and 2020 resulted in counting cases differently. Specifically, a case definition change in 2020 altered how public health defined a chronic hepatitis C case which led to a steep reduction in the number of probable cases starting in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, hepatitis C cases reported in 2020 and 2021 may be artificially low. Data should be interpreted with caution due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on availability of hepatitis C screening, linkage to care, and ability to investigate cases. Additionally, changes in cases and rates may be due to an increase in new hepatitis C infections, changes in provider hepatitis C screening practices, differences in the number of resources each jurisdiction has dedicated to hepatitis C surveillance, or differences in reporting positive and negative hepatitis C test results.<\/p>\n<p>To protect patient confidentiality, small numbers (between 1 and 4) at the county level are shown by an asterisk (*). Data from the previous completed year is not included in this report until that data has been finalized which is usually in July or August of the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Rate or rate per 100,000 persons, also known as crude or unadjusted rates, refer to the number of people with hepatitis C in a particular group (e.g., females). A rate is a measure of how often an event occurs in a population over a given time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-14293-0-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\"
