Human herpesvirus-8 infection leads to expansion of the preimmune/natural effector B cell compartment.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundHuman herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and of some lymphoproliferative disorders of B cells. Most malignancies develop after long-lasting viral dormancy, and a preventing role for both humoral and cellular

Seroepidemiology and phylogenetic analysis of human herpesvirus type 8 in injection drug users and men who have sex with men in northern Taiwan

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objectives Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is transmissible and causes Kaposi’s sarcoma and other malignancies. This study analyzed the seroepidemiology and phylogeny of HHV-8 among 515 injection drug users (IDUs) and 229 men who have sex with men (MSM) in ...

Human herpes virus 8 antibodies in HIV-positive patients in Surabaya, Indonesia

Infectious Disease Reports, 2020
Background: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is etiologically related to Kaposi’s sarcoma. Antibodies directed against HHV-8 can be detected in 80%–95% of HIV-seropositive patients with KS. HHV-8 serological tests have been done in several countries

Genotypic distribution of HHV-8 in AIDS individuals without and with Kaposi sarcoma: Is genotype B associated with better prognosis of AIDS-KS?

Medicine, 2016
AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (AIDS-KS) caused by human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is the most severe and resistant form of KS tumor. Our aim was to verify whether there is an association between HHV-8 variability and development of AIDS-KS in Brazil by ...

Analysis of the ORFK1 hypervariable regions reveal distinct HHV-8 clustering in Kaposi’s sarcoma and non-Kaposi’s cases

Journal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR, 2015
BackgroundClassical Kaposi’s Sarcoma (cKS) is a rare vascular tumor, which develops in subjects infected with Human Herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8). Beside the host predisposing factors, viral genetic variants might possibly be related to disease development.

Establishment of HHV-8-positive and HHV-8-negative lymphoma cell lines from primary lymphomatous effusions [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, 1997
Primary lymphomatous effusions are represented by cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) which grow in liquid phase in the serous body cavities in the absence of solid tumour masses. Based on morphologic, immunophenotypic, virologic and genotypic features, primary lymphomatous effusions are distinguished into body cavity-based lymphoma (BCBL), Burkitt's
