Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal neoplasm that develops in a high proportion of HIV-infected homosexual men. KS lesions contain novel herpes-like DNA sequences (HHV-8), and recent studies characterizing HHV-8 and its association with KS, and with other diseases, suggest that HHV-8 may represent the etiological viral pathogen.
卡波西肉瘤(KS)是一种多灶性肿瘤,在很大比例的感染艾滋病毒的同性恋男性中发生。卡波西肉瘤病变含有新的疱疹样DNA序列(HHV-8),最近关于HHV-8及其与卡波西肉瘤以及其他疾病关联的研究表明,HHV-8可能是致病病毒病原体。
