Abstract excerpt

Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been classified by sequence analysis of open reading frame (ORF) K1, ORF K15, and variable sequence loci within the central constant region. The purpose of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of HHV-8 in an Irish population. This retrospective study included 30 patients who had HHV-8 DNA detected in plasma. Nested end-point PCR was used to characterise four regions...
