  • Title: Age of Infection with Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Subsequent Antibody Values Among Children in Uganda.
    Author: Nalwoga A, Miley W, Labo N, Elliott A, Cose S, Whitby D, Newton R.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2018 Aug; 37(8):e225-e228. PubMed ID: 29369149.
    Abstract:
    We investigated associations between Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) seroconversion age and KSHV antibody values in Ugandan children. Every annual delay in KSHV seroconversion age was associated with a reduction of 19% (P < 0.0001) in K8.1 and 27% (P < 0.0001) in ORF73 antibody values at 6 years of age. Early infection may be an important risk factor for KSHV pathogenesis and viral shedding in saliva, leading to transmission.
