Human Herpesvirus 8 in the Prostate Glands of Men with Kaposi’s Sarcoma

1 Jul 1998

Abstract excerpt

The epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) resembles that of a sexually transmitted pathogen. However, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the proposed cause of KS, is found in semen only infrequently and at low titers. To determine whether HHV-8 was present in the urogenital tract, transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies were obtained from six men with KS (five with...
