## Abstract We report the molecular characterization of 38 new Kaposi's sarcomaβassociated herpesvirus (KSHV) strains from Russian patients with either classic (25 cases), epidemic/AIDSβassociated (7 cases), or posttransplant/immunosuppressed patients (6 cases), or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). While a co

## Abstract In AIDS/Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) patients, the sensitivity of immunofluorescence assays for detecting antibodies against latent nuclear antigen ranges from 52% to 93%. However, in classic and African KS, sensitivities above 90% have been reported systematically. This study evaluates whethe
## Skin biopsy sections of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) from 25 patients (5 AIDS-related, 20 classical cases) were histologically staged and hybridized in situ with oligonucleotide probes for constitutively transcribed human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) mRNA T0.7 and T1.1 using a colourimetric technique. T1.1 i
## Background: Dna sequences of human herpesvirus-8 (hhv8) are found in lesions of kaposi's sarcoma (ks). ## Objectives: To verify the hypothesis of the sexual transmission of hhv8 infection. ## Methods: We used the immunoperoxidase assay to study the prevalence of serum antibodies to hhv8-rela
## Abstract Renal allograft recipients in the Middle East are at high risk of developing Kaposi's sarcoma. This report describes the extent of oral human herpesvirus 8 shedding and the genomic diversity of the virus in five Saudi Arabian kidney transplantation patients in whom Kaposi's sarcoma had
