Human Herpesvirus 8 DNA Sequences in Blistering Skin From Patients With Pemphigus

1997-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h3>Background:</h3> Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been detected in Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and other lesions in patients both seropositive and seronegative for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Kaposi sarcoma has been reported to develop in a disproportionate number of patients with pemphigus. Since HHV-8 is so strongly associated with KS, we wondered whether HHV-8 is present in pemphigus lesions from patient...
