Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection of 130 Hungarian HIV-positive individuals with or without Kaposi's sarcoma was investigated from 158 serum and 122 peripheral blood samples using anti-latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), recombinant orf65 and orfK8.1 antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), Western blot assays and orf26 specific nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The overall prevalence of HHV-8 infection was found to be 31.5% (41/130) among the Hungarian HIV-positive patients. This seroprevalence rate is 7-11-fold higher than that of healthy HIV-negative blood donors in Hungary. The highest prevalence of HHV-8 infection (36.1%, 35/97) was observed in homo- or bisexual patients. Similar to the serologic results, HHV-8 DNA was not always detectable in all serial samples previously shown to be positive for HHV-8 DNA.
利用抗潜伏相关核抗原(LANA)间接免疫荧光测定法(IFA)、重组orf65和orfK8.1抗原酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)、蛋白质印迹测定法以及orf26特异性巢式聚合酶链反应(PCR),对130名患有或未患有卡波西肉瘤的匈牙利HIV阳性个体的158份血清样本和122份外周血样本进行了人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)感染情况的调查。结果发现,在匈牙利HIV阳性患者中,HHV-8感染的总体患病率为31.5%(41/130)。这一血清阳性率比匈牙利健康的HIV阴性献血者高出7至11倍。在同性恋或双性恋患者中观察到HHV-8感染的患病率最高(36.1%,35/97)。与血清学结果相似,在先前显示HHV-8 DNA呈阳性的所有系列样本中,并非总能检测到HHV-8 DNA。
