Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Kaposi's sarcoma

Microbes and Infection, 2000
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is present in all epidemiologic forms of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). The KSHV genome contains several open reading frames which are potentially implicated in the development of KS. Some are unique to KSHV; others are homologous to cellular genes.

Kaposi Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus/Human Herpesvirus 8 and Kaposi Sarcoma

Advances in Dental Research, 2011
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was discovered in 1994 and is now known to be a necessary but not sufficient causative agent of Kaposi sarcoma. While KSHV is likely also the causative agent of primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman’s disease, its causal role has been refuted in the case of multiple myeloma, sarcoidosis ...

Biology of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is a newly identified herpesvirus. KSHV is an important pathogen capable of causing disease that affects all age groups worldwide. KSHV is etiologically associated with all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), body cavity lymphomas, and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD).

Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus

1998
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumor predominantly found in the immunosuppressed. Epidemiologic studies suggest that an infective agent is the etiologic culprit. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), is a gamma human herpesvirus present in all epidemiologic forms of KS and also in a rare type of a B cell ...

Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus and extracellular vesicles

Journal of Medical Virology, 2021
AbstractKaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) represents the etiological agent for several human malignancies, including Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD), which develop mainly in immunocompromised patients.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus in Kikuchi's disease

Human Pathology, 1998
Kikuchi's disease is a fairly common self-limited disorder among Orientals that usually involves the cervical lymph nodes of young individuals and occurs predominantly in females. Frequently, the disease is associated with fever or flu-like symptoms, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), neutropenia, and lymphocytosis with atypical ...

Kaposi Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus: mechanisms of oncogenesis

Current Opinion in Virology, 2015
Kaposi Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus (KSHV, HHV8) causes three human malignancies, Kaposi Sarcoma (KS), an endothelial tumor, as well as Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) and the plasma cell variant of Multicentric Castleman's Disease (MCD), two B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases.

Vaccine prospect of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

Current Opinion in Virology, 2012
Infection of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is estimated to account for 34,000 new cancer cases globally. Unlike other herpesviruses, KSHV is not ubiquitous but is highly prevalent in some areas, such as sub-Saharan Africa where Kaposi sarcoma is the leading cancer among adults.
