Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection and Kaposi's sarcoma in Brazil
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006 Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) became a critical health issue with the emergence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the 1980s. Four clinical-epidemiological forms of KS have been described: classical KS, endemic KS, iatrogenic KS, and AIDS-associated
