Human herpes virus 8
Human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) was recently discovered in the tumours called
Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS). These tumours are found in people with AIDS and
are otherwise very rare. KS forms purplish tumours in the skin and other
tissues of some people with AIDS.
It is very difficult to treat with medication. HHV8 may also cause other
cancers, including certain lymphomas (lymph node cancers) associated with
AIDS. The fact that these cancers are caused by a virus may explain why
they tend to occur in people with AIDS when their immune systems begin to
fail. The discovery also provides new hope that specific treatments for these
tumours will be developed that target the virus.
