Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) signified the AIDS epidemic in the 1980's and led to the discovery of the eighth human herpesvirus, KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), as the causative agent for this disease. Today we know a lot about KSHV and can begin to understand, diagnose and treat KS as a viral disease rather than another sarcoma.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)在20世纪80年代标志着艾滋病流行,并促使第八种人类疱疹病毒——卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(KSHV)被发现,成为这种疾病的病原体。如今,我们对KSHV有了很多了解,并且能够开始将KS作为一种病毒性疾病而非另一种肉瘤来理解、诊断和治疗。
