Hepatitis B Induced Kaposi Sarcoma Flare
Journal Title: International Journal of Virology and AIDS - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a malignant disease that originates from the vascular endothelium and has a very variable clinical course. KS is a vascular endothelial malignancy and the neoplastic cells are closely related to lymphatic endothelial cells. Although HHV-8 is found in the vast majority of all types of KS, there is no agreement on the exact mechanism of HHV-8 in KS.
