HHV-8 Associated Lymphoproliferative and Inflammatory Disorders

The Human Herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), also called Kaposi sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV), belongs to the family of DNA viruses Herpeseviridae. It causes Kaposi sarcoma (a vascular malignancy) and B cell lymphoproliferative diseases such as primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). The likelihood of HHV-8-associated malignancies is significantly higher amongst individuals living with HIV. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of abdominal human herpesvirus-8 and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
