Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8): epidemiology and pathogenesis

1 Apr 2000

Abstract excerpt

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8), is a gamma2 herpesvirus (rhadinovirus) and the most recently discovered human tumour virus. It is involved in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma and the plasma cell variant of multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV is not pathogenic in most otherwise healthy individuals but is highly oncogenic in...
