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

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.

Chronic Lymphadenopathies and Human Herpes Virus Type 8

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002
Human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) is predominantly associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. Nothing is known about its manifestation in primary infection. We report an HIV-negative patient with chronic polyadenitis and lymphocytosis that may have been related to a primary HHV-8 infection.

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 ...

Human herpes virus 6, 7, 8

2021
This chapter deals with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), and Kaposi's sarcoma virus or human herpesvirus-8 (KSV/HHV-8). Herpesviruses consist of large double-stranded DNA packaged inside an icosahedral capsid, which is surrounded by a mixture of protein tegument and an outer lipid envelope where the viral glycoprotein spikes ...

Human-immunodeficiency-virus-negative, Human-herpes-virus-8-negative Abdominal Cavity Primary Effusion Lymphoma

Clinical Oncology, 2005
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is an unusual class of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is characterised by lymphomatous effusions in body cavities, but no associated mass lesions. It is usually associated with an immunodeficient state most often with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We describe a case of a man with HIV-negative, human-herpes-virus-
