The possibility has been raised that either a human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) variant or a novel, unidentified, gamma-herpesvirus related to HHV-8 is frequently associated with multiple myeloma (MM), which could explain the lack of antibodies to HHV-8 antigens and the discordant results from polymerase
