Multiple Human Herpesvirus–8 Infection [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003 In Malawian patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and their relatives, we investigated nucleotide-sequence variation in human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) subgenomic DNA, amplified from oral and blood samples by use of polymerase chain reaction. Twenty-four people had amplifiable HHV-8 DNA in >1 sample; 9 (38%) were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus ...

Seroprevalence of Kaposi Sarcoma–associated Herpesvirus and Other Serologic Markers in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To determine the presence of Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and other serologic markers, we tested serum specimens of 339 Amerindians, 181 rural non-Amerindians, and 1,133 urban blood donors (13 Amerindians) in the Brazilian Amazon.

Human herpesvirus 8 – A novel human pathogen [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2005 In 1994, Chang and Moore reported on the latest of the gammaherpesviruses to infect humans, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) 1. This novel herpesvirus has and continues to present challenges to define its scope of involvement in human disease. In this review,

Transmission of human herpesvirus 8: an update
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2007 Human 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 in hematological diseases
Haematologica, 1998 The huge amount of experimental and clinical observations supporting the possible involvement of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) in human lymphoproliferative diseases was critically reviewed during a workshop organized by

, 2006 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.

Heterogeneity of viral IL-6 expression in HHV-8-associated diseases. [PDF]
, 2007 In order to characterize the expression of the viral interleukin-6 (vIL-6) homologue in various human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8)-associated diseases, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were applied to formalin-fixed specimens.
