Mycosis fungoides and Kaposi’s sarcoma association in an HIV-negative patient [PDF]
The association of mycosis fungoides and kaposi’s sarcoma in HIV-negative patients is a rare phenomenon. The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) – associated with all forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma – has also been recently identified in mycosis fungoides ...

Kaposi’s sarcoma associated with chronic myeloid leukemia and imatinib mesylate therapy
Kaposi's sarcoma is associated with immunosuppression and human herpesvirus 8 infection, while rarely described in myeloid malignancies. Here, we illustrate a rare case of chronic myeloid leukemia treated with imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, who ...

Pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma—an atypical clinical presentation
HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma is an angioproliferative neoplasia caused by infection with human herpesvirus 8. It typically presents with mucocutaneous involvement. Pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma is rare, and an uncommon form of initial presentation of the

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus at 27
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was discovered 27 years ago and its link to several pathologies – Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and the B cell variant of Multicentric Castleman disease – is now well established.

Seroprevalence of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and other serologic markers in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]
To determine the presence of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and other serologic markers, we tested serum specimens of 339 Amerindians, 181 rural non-Amerindians, and 1,133 urban blood donors (13 Amerindians) in the Brazilian Amazon.

Killing of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus-infected fibroblasts during latent infection by activated natural killer cells. [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes life-long infection by evading clearance by the host immune system. In de novo infection and lytic replication, KSHV escapes cytotoxic T cells and NK cells through downregulation of MHC class-I ...

Heterogeneity of viral IL-6 expression in HHV-8-associated diseases. [PDF]
In order to characterize the expression of the viral interleukin-6 (vIL-6) homologue in various human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8)-associated diseases, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were applied to formalin-fixed specimens.

Manipulation of Nuclear-Related Pathways During Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Lytic Replication. [PDF]
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and several lymphoproliferative diseases. As with all herpesviruses, KSHV replicates in a biphasic manner, with the establishment of a latent, persistent ...

The RING-CH ligase K5 antagonizes restriction of KSHV and HIV-1 particle release by mediating ubiquitin-dependent endosomal degradation of tetherin [PDF]
Tetherin (CD317/BST2) is an interferon-induced membrane protein that inhibits the release of diverse enveloped viral particles. Several mammalian viruses have evolved countermeasures that inactivate tetherin, with the prototype being the HIV-1 Vpu ...
