Human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8 or Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)] is associated with pleural effusion lymphoma (PEL), multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD) and Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) 1. These diseases are rare, but HHV-8 can infect more than 50% of the general population, depending on the geographical area. This indicates that additional factors are required for HHV-8 pathogenicity 1. This is not surprising, as the concept of multistep tumorigenesis is now generally accepted and it does not rule out an etiologic role for HHV-8 in tumor development.
