Pennsylvania declares a statewide hepatitis A outbreak as the US sees a 300% increase in cases across the nation
Pennsylvania health officials have declared an outbreak of hepatitis A that has swept across the state.
Since January 2018, there have been 171 cases reported in 36 counties, the state's Department of Health said on Monday.
More than 60 cases alone have been identified since the start of 2019, Nate Wardle, a spokesperson for the Department of Health, told DailyMail.com
It comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported earlier this month that there were 300 percent more cases across the US between 2016 and 2018 than the previous three-year period.
