“…No flare-up of disease or HHV8 reactivation was observed after a follow-up of 30 and 9 months, respectively. The mechanism underlying the response to rituximab is unknown but may be linked to a depletion of CD 20-positive monotypic IgMk mantle and follicular lymphoid cells harboring both lytic and latent HHV8 proteins [18,19]. This depletion thus allows a restoration of functional HHV8-specific T cell immunity, which albeit present, cannot control viral infection in MCD [20].…”

“…HHV-8 has been associated with AIDS-related epidemic KS, but has also been identified in endemic KS. Although there is no evidence to support the role of HIV in KS pathogenesis, the high rate of KS among AIDS patients appears to be due to immunosuppression as well as shared sexual risk factors between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HHV-8 [2]. HHV-8 prevalence exhibits considerable variation in different geographic regions and populations and the incidence of KS appears to increase in areas with a high prevalence rate.…”

“…Koduru et al (1997) A melhor maneira de se detectar o HHV-8 em tecido é através de estudo imunoistoquímico, utilizando-se anticorpo contra a proteína LANA-1. A detecção através de PCR é muito sensível e sujeita a resultado falso-positivo, sendo, provavelmente, a razão pela qual vários estudos têm descrito a presença desse vírus em casos de sarcoidose e mieloma múltiplo (Laurent et al, 2008). O espectro de neoplasias ao qual o HHV-8 tem sido associado é diferente e mais restrito que o espectro de neoplasias associadas ao EBV (Laurent et al, 2008).…”

Em neoplasias linfóides a co-infecção EBV/HHV-8 tem sido demonstrada na maioria dos casos de PEL (Diebold et al, 2001;Carbone et al, 2000;Chadburn et al.,…”
