Human Herpes Virus 8 in Solid Organ Transplantation

Transplantation, 2011
Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a geographically limited virus that causes neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases predominantly in endemic regions. Primary HHV-8 infection, which is usually asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, result in lifelong latency.

Seroprevalence of human herpes virus 8 in different Eritrean population groups

Journal of Clinical Virology, 1999
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. In the US and Europe, HHV-8 is believed to be mainly sexually transmitted, but reports from some African countries suggest non-sexual transmission.To find out more about HHV-8 seroprevalence and transmission in Eastern Africa.In this study, 411 serum samples from different population ...

International survey of human herpes virus 8 screening and management in solid organ transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, 2021
AbstractBackgroundHHV‐8/Kaposi Sarcoma herpesvirus has been associated with a broad spectrum of diseases in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Primary donor‐derived infection can be associated with severe and rapidly fatal non‐neoplastic disease, and diagnosis is made with high HHV‐8 DNAemia.MethodsWe carried out an international survey to ...

Human Herpes Virus 8 in Skin Disease: An Immunoperoxidase Analysis

Journal of Histotechnology, 2005
AbstractHuman herpes virus 8 (HHV8) has been consistently implicated in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and has been studied in a variety of skin lesions, principally by means of polymerase chain reaction. With this in mind, we sought to characterize a variety of skin lesions by means of paraffin immunoperoxidase studies using the antibody to

Correlates of human herpes virus‐8 and herpes simplex virus type 2 infections in Northern Cameroon

Journal of Medical Virology, 2004
AbstractThe association between sexual activity and human herpes virus‐8 (HHV‐8) infection has been established, but the mode of acquisition is still unclear. Blood samples from 238 individuals from Northern Cameroon were tested to evaluate the incidence of herpes simplex virus‐2 (HSV‐2), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Treponema pallidum, and HHV ...

Human herpes virus-8 associated with two cases of primary-effusion lymphoma

Annals of Hematology, 2000
Primary-effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which predominantly occurs in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and is characterized by the presence of a malignant effusion in one or more of the body cavities, generally in the absence of a primary tumor mass.

Absence of human herpes virus 8 in semen from healthy Danish donors

Human Reproduction, 1999
Epidemiological data indicate a sexual route of transmission of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) associated Kaposi's sarcoma. Recently human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) has been proposed as the aetiological agent for development of Kaposi's sarcoma. Further the virus has been reported in semen obtained from healthy men.

Human herpes virus 8: a new virus discloses its face

Virchows Archiv, 2000
The human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) is present in all Kaposi's sarcoma, and the detection of the virus using polymerase chain reaction or in situ hybridization is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic test for the diagnosis of this neoplasm.

Diagnosis of Pulmonary Kaposi's Sarcoma by Detection of Human Herpes Virus 8 in Bronchoalveolar Lavage

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1998
Abstract Human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) DNA has recently been detected in sarcoma tissue of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma. HHV8 DNA could also be found in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of patients with tracheobronchial Kaposi's sarcoma. To determine the specificity, sensitivity and predictive values of HHV8 DNA detection in the BAL

Hémopathies lymphoïdes et HHV-8 (human herpes virus 8)

Annales de Pathologie, 2009
HHV-8 is a gamma herpes virus described for the first time in humans in 1994 within Kaposi's disease cells. Since, it has been found to be involved in lymphoid proliferative disorders. First, it has been described in multicentric Castleman's disease (100 % of HIV infected patients and 50 % of HIV negative patients), in multicentric Castleman's disease ...
