Intrahost genetic variability of human herpes virus‐8

Journal of Medical Virology, 2013
AbstractStudies were conducted to determine whether HHV‐8 hyperactivity could be the consequence of the propensity of the host to multiple HHV‐8 infection. The aim of the present work was to investigate HHV‐8 intrahost genetic variability. HHV‐8 subgenomic DNA was amplified by PCR from patients infected with HIV, health care workers (HCW) and bone ...

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.

Human herpes virus 8 (Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus)

Oral Oncology, 1998
Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a recently discovered herpesvirus related to Herpesvirus saimiri and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It has been assigned to the Rhadinovirus genus (gamma-2 herpesvirus) on the basis of its genomic sequence and structure. HHV-8 is the first member of this genus known to infect humans and it is now evident that it is the likely

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.
