Abstract: Previous PCR-based studies have demonstrated the presence of various viral DNA or RNA sequences in Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) tissues. To date, only human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences are found consistently in KS. The putative role of this agent in KS pathogenesis remains, however, to be determined; HHV-8 could infe ...
