The identification of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) clusters in subequatorial Africa (endemic KS, AKS) and the high frequency of KS in sexually transmitted AIDS (epidemic KS, EKS), have previously suggested a role for infectious agents in the etiopathogenesis of KS. The recent identification of herpesvirus

The aetiology and detection of human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a matter of intense investigation. We report on the detection of HHV-8 DNA and sequence polymorphism in different clinicopathological subtypes of cutaneous KS samples from South Africa. The dia
The frequency and distribution of herpesvirus-like DNA sequences (KSHV) were investigated by PCR in the pathologic skin lesions of a series of 22 HIV-negative elderly patients with classic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) from Italy, one of the few regions of the world where classic KS is prevalent. Viral sequ
