Transmission of human herpesvirus 8: an update
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2007Human herpesvirus 8 is associated with neoplastic diseases in the immunocompromised host, including Kaposi's sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease and primary effusion lymphoma. Acquisition and control of human herpesvirus 8 infection have not yet been fully elucidated.

Human herpesvirus 8 infections
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus is a recently identified virus that is associated with KS, multicentric Castleman's disease, and body cavity-based lymphomas. KS is the most common kind of cancer in AIDS patients and the initial AIDS-defining condition in over 20% of patients.

Human herpesvirus 8: an update
Microbes and Infection, 2004The discovery of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has opened a new field in the biology and in the clinical definition of HHV-8-associated diseases. Various aspects of epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis and treatment of HHV-8 infection are still controversial.

Human herpesvirus 8 and human herpesvirus 2 infections in prison population
Journal of Medical Virology, 2006AbstractIncarcerated persons have high rates of infectious diseases. Few data on the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in prisoners are available. This multi‐center cross‐sectional study enrolled 973 inmates from eight Italian prisons. Demographic and behavioral data were collected using an anonymous standardized questionnaire and antibodies ...

Human Herpesvirus 8 in Hematologic Diseases
Pathology & Oncology Research, 1999Human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a new member of the g-herpesvirus family. It is an unusual herpesvirus in that it carries a large number of genes that encode oncoproteins or cell signaling proteins.

Abstract Since the discovery of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) 4 years ago, a remarkable amount of data has accumulated on the biology and disease-associations of this virus. There is compelling evidence that HHV-8 is the long sought after agent which causes Kaposi's sarcoma.

Human herpesvirus (HHV) 8 or Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the newest member of the HHV family, discovered almost a decade ago in Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) tissue (1, 2, 3). Since it was first identified in KS and is linked to this disease, it is thus termed KSHV.

The molecular genetics of human herpesvirus 8
Hospital Medicine, 2000Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is 10 times commoner in homosexual men than in other transmission groups and is four times more frequent in HIV-positive patients who acquired their infection from blood transfusions than in haemophiliacs.

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8, KSHV) is a novel virus for which fragments of genomic sequence were identified in 1994. This was done by means of a differential amplification technique applied to the DNA of Kaposi's sarcoma lesions and normal tissues obtained from the same individual.

Is Human Herpesvirus-8 Transmitted by Transfusion?
Transfusion Medicine Reviews, 2010Studies of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) transmission through transfusion have produced contradictory results. In North America-a region with a low prevalence of HHV-8 infection-3 studies that tested specimens from linked positive-donor/negative-recipient pairs collected before the introduction of white blood cell (WBC) reduction and the extension of red
