  • Title: HHV-8: a new herpesvirus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma.
    Author: Offermann MK.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 1996 Oct; 4(10):383-6. PubMed ID: 8899963.
    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.
