Gives State-wide total for cases of diseases and report by County. Mason County has stood out for cases of Hepatitis A. In 1996 case rate was 109 cases per 100,000. State-wide average has been 21; we have the highest rate in the State. We also stood out for Hepatitis B with 7.7 cases per 100,000; State-wide average 2.9. For Hepatitis D, Mason County, had 17 per 100,000 and the State-wide average is 1.2. Although, we did have an epidemic of Hepatitis A, we are discovering more cases of B and C now from that year. Another statistic out of that is that Mason County stands out with the highest rate 12.8 of Aids compared to the State-wide rate of 2.4.
