Absence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus DNA in bacillary angiomatosis-peliosis lesions.
Bartonella henselae and B. quintana induce an unusual vascular proliferative tissue response known as bacillary angiomatosis (BA) and bacillary peliosis (BP) in some human hosts. The mechanisms of Bartonella-associated vascular proliferation remain unclear. Although host factors probably play a role, microbial coinfection has not been ruled out. Because of the vascular proliferative characteris...

متن کاملActivation of the cellular DNA damage response in the absence of DNA lesions.
The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) is initiated by the rapid recruitment of repair factors to the site of DNA damage to form a multiprotein repair complex. How the repair complex senses damaged DNA and then activates the DDR is not well understood. We show that prolonged binding of DNA repair factors to chromatin can elicit the DDR in an ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated)- and DNAPK (DNA-d...
متن کاملAbsence of human herpesvirus-8 DNA in Kaposi's sarcoma following postmastectomy lymphoedema.
Only two cases of KS arising in a chronic lymphoedematous arm following radical mastectomy have been reported. We present the clinicopathological features of a third example, including an investigation into the presence of associated human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) in this situation. A 67-year-old woman without predisposing factors for KS underwent a radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node resec...
متن کاملKaposis sarcoma in a Nairobi hospital.
BACKGROUND Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is associated epidemiologically with HIV infection and a number of countries have reported a dramatic increase in the incidence of KS with the advent of AIDS. Although AIDS is prevalent in Kenya, no studies on the impact of AIDS on the pattern of KS has been carried out. OBJECTIVE To determine any changes in the pattern of KS that might have occurred since the...
