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

[Epidemiology of human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) or the herpes virus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KSHV)].

Pathologie-biologie, 2002
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also called Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), is not a ubiquitous virus. In countries with a low viral seroprevalence (< 5% in adult general population) as the USA, Northern Europe and Asia, the infection concerns essentially homosexual men.

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-

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.

Human herpes virus type 8 seroprevalence in pregnant women in Geneva, Switzerland

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2010
Because of increasing migration, European countries are facing new pathogens and diseases, such as human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8). We assessed the prevalence of HHV-8 using a new ELISA test in 140 pregnant women delivering in Geneva (Switzerland). The prevalence of HHV-8 was 7.9% globally and up to 33.3% in the African subpopulation.

Control of Human Herpes Virus Type 8–Associated Diseases by NK Cells

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007
Abstract:  The “natural killer” (NK) cells preferentially kill targets lacking surface major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC‐I) molecule expression. NK cells recognize these targets through membrane receptors, which can trigger activating or inhibitory signals for killing. Several tumors or virus‐infected cells downregulate MHC‐I expression as

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.

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

Epstein-Barr Virus, Varicella Zoster Virus, and Human Herpes Viruses-6 and -8

2011
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and human herpes viruses-6 (HHV-6) and -8 (HHV-8) present unique management challenges to clinicians who care for patients with cancer. Although latent infection by these organisms is either common (HHV-8, VZV) or essentially ubiquitous (EBV, HHV-6), clinical manifestations vary widely in ...
