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 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 ...

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.

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 ...

Propagating Kaposi's Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus

New England Journal of Medicine, 1997
Over the past two years, there has been great interest in a newly recognized herpesvirus, called both Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and human herpesvirus 8.

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.

Molecular piracy of Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2001
Kaposi's Sarcoma associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) is the most recently discovered human tumor virus and is associated with the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and Multicentric Casttleman's disease. KSHV contains numerous open reading frames with striking homology to cellular genes.

Molecular biology of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2002
Over the past twenty odd years, kaposi's sarcoma has launched from being a rare pathological curiosity to a significant public health concern. This massive increase in incidence, concurrent with the aids epidemic, has sparked a tremendous amount of interest in uncovering the etiopathogenesis of this disease.

Seroepidemiology of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1999
Since the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV also referred to as HHV-8, human herpesvirus-8) was discovered it has been shown that the virus is associated with all cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) classical, endemic, or AIDS associated. In the numerous countries where the seroprevalence of this virus has been studied, data demonstrate that the
