Abstract
In October 2018 a large number of international experts with complementary expertise
came together in Taormina to participate in a workshop on occult hepatitis B virus
infection (OBI). The objectives of the workshop were to review the existing knowledge
on OBI, to identify issues that require further investigation, to highlight both existing
controversies and newly emerging perspectives, and ultimately to update the statements
previously agreed in 2008. This paper represents the output from the workshop.
