A derivation of screened fugacity expansions for nondegenerate Coulomb systems is given. Debye screening is taken into account by an iteration procedure. The fugacity expansion is applied to hydrogen plasmas. It is shown that the fugacity expansion of the pressure implicitely describes the ionization equilibrium.
