HHV-8: a new herpesvirus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma
Trends Microbiol.
1996 Oct.
Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal neoplasm that develops in a high proportion of HIV-infected homosexual men. KS lesions contain novel herpes-like DNA sequences (HHV-8), and recent studies characterizing HHV-8 and its association with KS, and with other diseases, suggest that HHV-8 may represent the etiological viral pathogen.
