Human herpesvirus 8 and human herpesvirus 2 infections in prison population
Journal of Medical Virology, 2006AbstractIncarcerated persons have high rates of infectious diseases. Few data on the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in prisoners are available. This multi‐center cross‐sectional study enrolled 973 inmates from eight Italian prisons. Demographic and behavioral data were collected using an anonymous standardized questionnaire and antibodies ...

Multiple lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may act as an accelerating factor in the natural history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although, in common with HIV, HHV-6 has a primary tropism for CD4+ T cells, its potential effects on the immune system are broader.

Human Herpesvirus-6 and Human Herpesvirus-7
1997Human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) and human herpes-virus type 7 (HHV-7) are two of the most recently characterized viruses in the group that includes herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1), herpes simplex virus 2 (HHV-2), varicellazoster (HHV-3), Epstein—Barr virus (EBV) (HHV-4), cytomegalovirus (CMV) (HHV-5), and the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus HHV-

The descent of human herpesvirus 8
Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1999Analysis of conserved herpesvirus genes shows that human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) belongs to a clade of primate herpesviruses within the gamma2 sublineage. Overall, this clade has developed by cospeciation with host species. Seventeen genes of HHV8 and its nearest relatives lack simple homologues in other herpesviruses, and eight of these have known ...

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Pneumonia
Leukemia & Lymphoma, 1994Studies of lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from patients with pneumonia have led some investigators to propose that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) can cause pneumonia. As the etiologic role of HHV-6 in pneumonia remains poorly defined, cases of pneumonia that are associated with pulmonary HHV-6 infection are best described as HHV-6 ...

Human herpesvirus 8 infections
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus is a recently identified virus that is associated with KS, multicentric Castleman's disease, and body cavity-based lymphomas. KS is the most common kind of cancer in AIDS patients and the initial AIDS-defining condition in over 20% of patients.

Human herpesvirus (HHV) 8 or Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the newest member of the HHV family, discovered almost a decade ago in Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) tissue (1, 2, 3). Since it was first identified in KS and is linked to this disease, it is thus termed KSHV.

Abstract Since the discovery of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) 4 years ago, a remarkable amount of data has accumulated on the biology and disease-associations of this virus. There is compelling evidence that HHV-8 is the long sought after agent which causes Kaposi's sarcoma.

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8, KSHV) is a novel virus for which fragments of genomic sequence were identified in 1994. This was done by means of a differential amplification technique applied to the DNA of Kaposi's sarcoma lesions and normal tissues obtained from the same individual.
