## 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
## 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
## Abstract Previous studies have reported a large variation in the incidence of classical Kaposi's sarcoma across different Districts of the province of Mantua (Northern Italy). To assess whether such differences might be explained by different antiβHHV8 antibody prevalence, a serological study wa
## 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
