Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although rare in mainland Japan, classic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is frequently reported in Okinawa, a subtropical island in southern Japan. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) has been identified in the tumours and geographical differences occur. AIM: To sequence HHV8 in classic and AIDS associated KS in Okinawa. MATERIALS/METHODS: Eight classic KS cases, one AIDS associated KS, five granuloma pyogenicum cases,...
