Abstract excerpt

Human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) is the etiological agent of all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Six major subtypes (A-F), based on genetic variability of open reading frame (ORF)-K1, have been identified. Numerous studies point to differing tumorigenic and pathogenic properties of the HHV8 subtypes. The study objectives were to determine the HHV8 subtypes and their prevalence in a cohort of clinical and...
