Human herpesvirus 8

Dermatologic Clinics, 2002
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a g2 herpesvirus and the most recently identified human tumor virus. HHV 8 has been consistently implicated in the pathogenesis of all clinical variants of Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as in the plasma cell variant of multicentric Castleman's disease and primary ...

Human herpesvirus-8

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1997
Our current understanding of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has evolved from initial descriptions of this "idiopathic sarcoma" to a progressively detailed characterization of its probable infectious origin. This article traces the explosive discovery of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) and its etiologic associations with KS, Castleman's disease, and primary effusion

The descent of human herpesvirus 8

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1999
Analysis of conserved herpesvirus genes shows that human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) belongs to a clade of primate herpesviruses within the gamma2 sublineage. Overall, this clade has developed by cospeciation with host species. Seventeen genes of HHV8 and its nearest relatives lack simple homologues in other herpesviruses, and eight of these have known ...

Human herpesvirus 8 infections

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Human 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, 2004
The 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.
