Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence from studies in humans. This conclusion is based on evidence from epidemiological and molecular studies, which show that KSHV causes Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and a plasmablastic variant of multicentric Castleman disease, and on supporting mechanistic data. KSHV causes ca...

متن کاملKaposi sarcoma herpesvirus pathogenesis
Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), taxonomical name human gammaherpesvirus 8, is a phylogenetically old human virus that co-evolved with human populations, but is now only common (seroprevalence greater than 10%) in sub-Saharan Africa, around the Mediterranean Sea, parts of South America and in a few ethnic communities. KSHV causes three human malignancies, Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymp...
متن کاملVirology, pathogenetic mechanisms, and associated diseases of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8).
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a recently discovered and characterized member of the herpesvirus family. It is one of a few viruses proved to be associated with tumorigenesis in humans. Its causal association with 4 clinical and epidemiologic variants of Kaposi sarcoma (classic, endemic, iatrogenic, and acquired immunodeficiency virus-associated) as well as with several lymphop...
