HHV-8-unrelated primary effusion-like lymphoma associated with clonal loss of inherited chromosomally-integrated human herpesvirus-6A from the telomere of chromosome 19q [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
Primary effusion lymphomas (PEL) are associated with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) and usually occur in immunocompromised individuals. However, there are numerous reports of HHV-8-unrelated PEL-like lymphomas with unknown aetiology. Here we characterize an

HHV-8 infection and multiple myeloma [PDF]

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1999
Abstract Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman disease. Recently, this gamma-herpes virus was also found in the nonmalignant bone marrow dendritic cells of the ...

HHV-8 infection in African children.

Herpes : the journal of the IHMF, 2004
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is prevalent in Africa and parts of southern Europe, but less common elsewhere. It is analogous to its distant relative, the Epstein-Barr virus, in that it rarely causes disease in the immunocompetent host but is highly oncogenic when associated with immunosuppression or HIV-1 infection.
