Serological testing for human herpesvirus 8.
Herpes : the journal of the IHMF, 2001 Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been identified in skin lesions of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma and is now considered a co-factor for the development of the neoplasm associated with this disease. Several laboratory tests are currently available for use in the detection of HHV-8 antibodies--immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays ...

Human herpesvirus 8: an update
Microbes and Infection, 2004The discovery of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has opened a new field in the biology and in the clinical definition of HHV-8-associated diseases. Various aspects of epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis and treatment of HHV-8 infection are still controversial.

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 ...

Human Herpesvirus 8 in Hematologic Diseases
Pathology & Oncology Research, 1999Human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a new member of the g-herpesvirus family. It is an unusual herpesvirus in that it carries a large number of genes that encode oncoproteins or cell signaling proteins.

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.

The molecular genetics of human herpesvirus 8
Hospital Medicine, 2000Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is 10 times commoner in homosexual men than in other transmission groups and is four times more frequent in HIV-positive patients who acquired their infection from blood transfusions than in haemophiliacs.

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.

Is Human Herpesvirus-8 Transmitted by Transfusion?
Transfusion Medicine Reviews, 2010Studies of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) transmission through transfusion have produced contradictory results. In North America-a region with a low prevalence of HHV-8 infection-3 studies that tested specimens from linked positive-donor/negative-recipient pairs collected before the introduction of white blood cell (WBC) reduction and the extension of red

KAPOSI'S SARCOMA AND HUMAN HERPESVIRUS-8
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1998KS is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among AIDS patients and a treatment problem in the sporadic cases that are not associated with HIV. All four forms of the disease are linked to a newly described herpesvirus, HHV-8 or KSHV, via strong epidemiologic associations and biologic plausibility as a causal agent.
