Human Herpesvirus 8 Causes a Wide Spectrum of Disease in Liver Transplant Recipients and May be Donor Derived: Case Series and Systematic Review of an Emerging Challenge. [PDF]

Transpl Infect Dis
Among 135 cases of post‐liver transplant HHV8 disease (4 from NSW), presentations varied, and mortality was high (44%). Donor screening was rare, and donor‐derived infection was suspected in 33%. Survival improved with mTORi, reduced immunosuppression, chemotherapy, and, for non‐KS disease, donor screening. ABSTRACT Background Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)

HHV8 in renal transplant recipients [PDF]

Transplant International, 2000
Human herpevirus 8 (HHV8) DNA sequences have been found in lesions from patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in several forms including immunosuppressed transplant patients. We wanted to study the transmission of HHV8 in kidney transplant recipients and to assess the risk of development of KS related to the viral infection in this group of patients.
