Multiple human herpesvirus-8 infection.
In Malawian patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and their relatives, we investigated nucleotide-sequence variation in human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) subgenomic DNA, amplified from oral and blood samples by use of polymerase chain reaction. Twenty-four people had amplifiable HHV-8 DNA in >1 sample; 9 (38%) were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus type 1, 21 (88%) were anti-HHV-8-seropositiv...

متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 8 infection in children and adults in a population-based study in rural Uganda.
BACKGROUND Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. We examined sociodemographic, behavioral, and biological factors associated with HHV-8 infection in children and adults to determine HHV-8 seroprevalence and potential routes of transmission. METHODS Participants were 1383 children and 1477 adults from a population-based sample in a rural community in Uganda. S...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 8 infection and transfusion history in children with sickle-cell disease in Uganda.
BACKGROUND Although human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the etiologic agent for Kaposi's sarcoma, can be detected in peripheral blood, blood-borne transmission of this virus has not been demonstrated. We studied the association between HHV-8 seropositivity and transfusion history among children with sickle-cell disease in Uganda, where HHV-8 infection is common in blood donors. METHODS We studied 60...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical assessment of human herpesvirus 8 infection in primary central nervous system large B cell lymphomas.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Primary central nervous system large B cell lymphomas (PCNSLs) are frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in patients with AIDS and less frequently in those without AIDS. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been detected in these tumours by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at low copy number, suggesting its presence in a cell compartment other than the malignant one....
