Restricted Tissue Distribution of Extralesional Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus-Like DNA Sequences in AIDS Patients with Kaposi's Sarcoma

Abstract excerpt
Specific herpesvirus-like DNA sequences have been found in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions of AIDS patients, suggesting that a novel gamma herpesvirus, homologous to Epstein-Barr virus and herpesvirus saimiri, could be implicated in the pathogenesis of KS. To better understand the role of this putative etiological agent, named Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), we...
