Proceedings of the Association of American Physicians, 1999Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV‐8), also termed Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus, was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) biopsy specimens in 1994. The epidemiological data available to date indicate a strong association of HHV‐8 with KS. It appears that HHV‐8 is necessary for KS development.

Human herpesvirus 8 and Kaposi's sarcoma
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 1997In the last 2 years, the discovery that the suspected causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a new gamma-herpesvirus, called human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), has been followed by studies showing it to be a sine qua non of all clinical forms of KS and a specific marker for KS in the differential ...

2013Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a virus that is associated with the original AIDS-defining tumor, Kaposi sarcoma (KS).

Such is the case for Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus, also referred to as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), which was first described in 1994 and is the subject of two articles ...
