The seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in the Swiss population was investigated. By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, sera reactive to the recombinant HHV-8 antigen orf 65.2 were found in 24% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients without and in 92% of HIV-positive patients with Kaposi's sarcoma. Surprisingly, 20% of homosexual HIV-negative men, versus only 7% of heterosexual HIV-negative individuals and 5% of blood donors, had antibodies to HHV-8.
对瑞士人群中人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)的血清流行率进行了调查。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法,在24%未患卡波西肉瘤的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阳性患者以及92%患卡波西肉瘤的HIV阳性患者中,发现血清对重组HHV-8抗原orf 65.2呈反应性。令人惊讶的是,20%的同性恋HIV阴性男性体内有HHV-8抗体,而异性恋HIV阴性个体中这一比例仅为7%,献血者中为5%。
