Herpesvirus and Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy in Chinese Children: An Epidemiological and Clinical Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the possible association between adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) and herpesviral infections in children, and to examine correlations between specific viral detection and clinical characteristics. Methods We enrolled 43 children aged 3–14 years with ATH (mean age 76.56 ± 25.65 months; 31 boys).

Comprehensive Viral Detection and Profiling of Plasma Cell-Free RNA in Patients With Suspected Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe, rapidly progressive disease. While viral infection is considered a common etiology of pediatric HLH, specific causative viruses other than the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) have been rarely identified.

Characterization of a Novel Human Herpesvirus 8-Encoded Protein, vIRF-3, That Shows Homology to Viral and Cellular Interferon Regulatory Factors [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe genome of the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) contains a cluster of open reading frames (ORFs) encoding proteins with homology to the cellular transcription factors of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family. Two of these homologues, vIRF-1 and vIRF-2, were previously identified and functionally analyzed.

Human Herpesvirus 8 Interferon Regulatory Factors 1 and 3 Mediate Replication and Latency Activities via Interactions with USP7 Deubiquitinase [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) encodes four viral interferon regulatory factors (vIRF-1 to -4) that likely function to suppress innate immune and cellular stress responses through inhibitory interactions with various cellular proteins involved in these activities.
