HHV-8 and multiple myeloma in the UK
The Lancet, 1997Rettig and colleagues reported an association between HHV-8 and multiple myeloma. HHV-8 genomic sequences were detected by PCR in cultured bone-marrow stromal cells from 15 of 15 patients with multiple myeloma and from two of eight patients with monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, but not from 26 controls.

Plasma HHV‐8 viral load in HHV‐8‐related lymphoproliferative disorders associated with HIV infection
Journal of Medical Virology, 2009Abstract This is a mono‐institutional analysis of the clinical features, immunological and virological findings, and prognostic factors of patients with HIV infection and HHV‐8‐lymphoproliferative disorders. Patients with Multicentric Castleman Disease and HHV‐8‐related lymphoma diagnosed and treated from April 1987 to June 2004 were ...

Castleman disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology that is associated with the development of secondary tumors, including B-cell lymphoma. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) (Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus) sequences have been described in some cases of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD).

Transfusion, 2009
BACKGROUND: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV‐8) is endemic in Uganda where seroprevalence is approximately 40%. In a previous study, Ugandan patients receiving blood transfusions had multiple serum specimens collected for 6 months after transfusion to monitor for HHV‐8 infection.

Prevalence of HHV-8 in systemic autoimmune diseases
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2015Epidemiological data suggest that some viruses may be linked to the development of autoimmunity.The objective of this work was to determine the presence of HHV-8 viral DNA in whole blood from patients suffering from different systemic autoimmune diseases (SAD).

Absence of HHV‐8 DNA in hobnail hemangiomas
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2002Background: Hobnail hemangioma (HH) is a rare subtype of hemangioma that shares the morphological feature of hobnail endothelia with retiform hemangioendothelioma (RHE) and has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of Kaposi sarcoma. Since DNA of the human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV‐8) has been detected in more than 90% of Karposi sarcomas and ...

HHV‐8 and AIDS‐related CNS lymphoma
Neurology, 1997Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus, is closely related to the transforming Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and may be detected in AIDS-related, EBV-containing, body-cavity-based lymphomas. Accordingly, we analyzed 27 EBV-positive, AIDS-related CNS lymphomas for HHV-8 sequences. Only one tumor yielded HHV-8 sequences;
