Background: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences have been detected in Kaposi’s sarcoma, in primary effusion lymphoma (an unusual highgrade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma seen primarily in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]), and in Castleman’s disease (a rare lymphoproliferative disorder); however, proof that HHV-8 is involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases remains to ...

Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). KSHV's lytic replication cycle is critical for the pathogenesis of KSHV-associated diseases. Despite recent progress in the development of treatments for KSHV associated malignancies, these therapies are not completely effic...

Human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8), now called Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), as a probable causative agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) was putforth when it was first detected in KS specimens in 1994. Since then, many investigators have confirmed the association of HHV-8 and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) associated KS. This study was done ...
