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

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 ...

Gastric Kaposi Sarcoma With Distinct “Lobster‐Like” Endoscopic Lesions in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus‐Positive Patient

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a rare vascular tumor linked to Human Herpesvirus‐8 (HHV‐8) infection, most often affecting immunocompromised patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Gastrointestinal KS (GI‐KS) is frequently underdiagnosed, particularly in resource‐limited settings, and may present with ...

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and
