Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Human Herpesvirus 8--the First Human Rhadinovirus

JNCI Monographs, 1998
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus, also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is the first known human member of the genus Rhadinovirus. It is regularly found by polymerase chain reaction in all forms of KS, in certain types of Castleman's disease, and in body cavity-based B-cell lymphoma.

Acyclovir‐Resistant Herpes Simplex Virus in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: A Case Series

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This retrospective case series of acyclovir‐resistant HSV infection in pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT discusses the clinical course, associated complications, and treatment, including side effects. We propose the first algorithm for investigating and managing acyclovir‐resistant HSV infections in pediatric HSCT recipients, highlighting ...

Human Herpesvirus 8 Induces Polyfunctional B Lymphocytes That Drive Kaposi’s Sarcoma

mBio, 2014
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is an unusual neoplasia wherein the tumor consists primarily of endothelial cells infected with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8; Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) that are not fully transformed but are instead driven to excess ...

HHV‐8/KSHV in Solid Organ Transplantation: Current Gaps of Knowledge and Future Directions

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Risk mitigation strategies, including donors/recipients screening, DNAemia monitoring in recipients at risk, CNI‐to‐mTOR inhibitors switch, antivirals, and rituximab for KICS, may mitigate the impact of HHV‐8/KSHV infection in SOT. This review provides an update on KICS, identifies research gaps, and summarizes advances in screening and management ...
